Adam Kocoloski closed COUCHDB-355.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
r795630 checks for empty config values while we parse an ini value. If a value
is empty, we interpret that to mean delete the key from the config.
> deleting a _config key sets the value to ""

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-355
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Database Core
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Reporter: Adam Kocoloski
> Assignee: 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.
