[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

Karel commented on COUCHDB-523:
-------------------------------

This seems like possible workaround for the absence of wildcards in compound keys of a view. E.g. now you cannot query a view like this: key=[dimension1,*,dimension3]. Obviously this is just how btree works.

> 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" } ] }
