Remove <var> from 1.1.x and trunk
---------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-1094
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1094
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Database Core
Affects Versions: 1.1
Reporter: Volker Mische
Fix For: 1.1
This is about the rewriter. The current 1.1.x code base contains code to
support a new way of defining variables, it's in angle brackets, like <var>.
This makes it possible to match things like /foo/<var>.txt which isn't possible
with the :var syntax as you don't know where the variable name ends.
Although this is an improvement, the rewriter is still very limited. As adding
additional features should happen, but the 1.1 release shouldn't delayed any
further, I propose to remove this functionality, in order to be able to design
a better rewriter, without supporting the legacy <var> notation.
