[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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-523?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12886155#action_12886155 ] 

Benjamin Anderson commented on COUCHDB-523:
-------------------------------------------

This would be a big win for me as well, so I made a quick hack of the current trunk (1.1.0a961514) to enable it. It's pretty close to Jamie's work, except I didn't mess with the group_level code. Diff is attached.

My tests indicate that it works great, but they're admittedly limited; if there are any test suites out there that I can throw at it, let me know.

Similar to Jamie, I'm a novice with Erlang, but I'm a heavy Couch user and would like to get involved. If there's any change I can make to improve this, I'd be glad to spend the time on it.

> 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" } ] }
