[GitHub] [couchdb] nickva opened a new pull request #3491: Fix collation issue for older versions of libicu library

[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

nickva opened a new pull request #3491:
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/3491


   Port of `main` [PR](https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/3490) to 3.x for consistency.
   
   Previously, mango tests with objects as keys were failing on CentOS 6 and CentOS 7. The reason for the failures was that old libicu collation algorithms didn't consider the `<<255,255,255,255>>` as the highest sortable string as
   CouchDB intends it to be. Later versions of libicu, at least as old as 59, [started to do that]( https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-collation.html#tailored_noncharacter_weights). However, as long as we support CentOS 7 we can fix the issue by explicitly checking for the highest marker.
