[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1498) range_prefix view parameter to ease working with ranges

["Robert Newson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1498?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13395895#comment-13395895 ] 

Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-1498:
----------------------------------------

Included to close as 'won't fix' but I'll give it more time to see if someone can justify this addition.

If you don't know the range you want then I don't see how 'range_prefix' can help, and if you do know the range you want, you by definition know the startkey and endkey values.

Provide some examples of this new API that would improve usability without a) potentially being the wrong answer and b) being easier to figure out that startkey/endkey.

> queries for certain ranges are a common operation,
> but we are usually left with figuring what kind of start/end key combination to use if we want a certain range
> it would be really pleasant if instead of constructing a start/end range from a prefix by guessing mostly how to construct the end param,
> we could just pass the range prefix as a string/array to the view
