[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1736) Database aliases

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1736?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13667111#comment-13667111 ] 

Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-1736:
----------------------------------------

What's the use case here?

This seems problematic for compaction (should it make a symlink pointing to the same place as the .couch file?) and views (ditto, but more so).

I don't see this is as an improvement without more information.
