[jira] Commented: (COUCHDB-523) View API POST keys to retrieve multiple docs by key could also allow for multiple 'range' queries, i.e. an array of { startkey: .., endkey: ... } params in the POST

Walt W commented on COUCHDB-523:
--------------------------------

I don't actually have the time to test this at the moment, but I wanted to give this issue my vote and mention that this is a VERY useful feature . . . I'm not sure it should be included in a release without fixing the issue Jamie mentioned (grouping across different ranges), but if that could be fixed . . . this would be incredibly useful, and cut down on the space needed to make a bunch of different views to emulate this.

> It would be useful if I could do a single POST to a view to retrieve multiple ranges specified by startkey, endkey.
> The format could be as follows:
> { "ranges": [ { "startkey": "a", "endkey": "c" }, { "startkey":"g", "endkey":"z" } ] }
