Sure--this was my plan. However, the DocumentDB "holds" both databases. So
either way, you're writing a new method to DocumentDB.

Ah, I see what you're saying. That works. I was imagining passing around a
List of all the DocIDs to/from DocumentDB and potentially via
htsearch/main.cc to get it through the parser. (Which is why I thought it
was a bad idea.)

Doing a quick Database lookup inside of parser.cc to get the DocIDs out of
the index is probably the best solution.
