For old libicu versions < 59 on RHEL 6 and 7 we had to add a hack in the NIF driver to handle the max sortable sentinel `<<255,255,255,255>>` [1]. We don't support those versions any longer, and since libicu version 59 the library will automatically sort those as the highest values [2], so we can clean up our collator NIF. [1] https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/3491 [2] https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-collation.html#tailored-noncharacter-weights > U+FFFF: This code point is tailored to have a primary weight higher than all other characters. This allows the reliable specification of a range, such as “Sch” ≤ X ≤ “Sch\uFFFF”, to include all strings starting with "sch" or equivalent. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
