deleting a _config key sets the value to ""
-------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-355
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-355
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Database Core
Affects Versions: 0.9
Reporter: Adam Kocoloski
couch_config:delete/2 is implemented as
delete(Section, Key) ->
set(Section, Key, "").
I think that's misleading -- a key with an empty value is not the same as no
key at all. Consider the case of an update_notification process. To me,
deleting that key should just send an EOF to the process. Instead Couch sends
the EOF and then tries to spawn an os_process to execute "". The end result is
the same, but a few things crash along the way.
