Jamie Talbot commented on COUCHDB-523:
--------------------------------------
I wanted this feature so much, I hacked up a version that appears to do it.
I'm nowhere near an Erlang or Couch expert, but it seems to do what I want and
still be lightning fast so perhaps it is a solution. The only changes were
made to couch_httpd_view.erl. General theory of operation is to pattern match
start and end key fields from the Key variable in output_map_view and
output_reduce_view. I also had to list the restrictions on group_levels for
multi-key documents seeing as they do make sense in this context.
Was pretty much scrambling in the dark, but If that sounds like a sensible
approach, and someone can give me pointers on how to contribute, I'd be happy
to attach it here.
In the meantime, I'll attach my hacked up version of couch_http_view.erl. I've
also included a diff from version 0.10.1.
> View API POST keys to retrieve multiple docs by key could also allow for
> multiple 'range' queries, i.e. an array of { startkey: .., endkey: ... }
> params in the POST

> It would be useful if I could do a single POST to a view to retrieve multiple
> ranges specified by startkey, endkey.
> The format could be as follows:
> { "ranges": [ { "startkey": "a", "endkey": "c" }, { "startkey":"g",
> "endkey":"z" } ] }
