Adding first and last sort keys
-------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-124
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-124
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HTTP Interface
Reporter: Paul Joseph Davis
We should add values to the view query that are guranteed to be sorted first or
last.
Simple example, given an emitted key of something like [doc.tag, doc.descr]
currently to get the data for a specific tag we would use something like:
startkey=['tag_name']&endkey=['tag_name', 'ZZZZZZ'] which is a bit hackish at
best.
Perhaps startkey=['tag_name',_first_]&endkey=['tag_name',_last_]
Obviously _first_ and _last_ are crappy. And _first_ would even be optional.
But hopefully that conveys the idea.
