Chris Anderson commented on COUCHDB-589:
----------------------------------------
Adam,
Thanks for finding COUCHDB-404, I think it's important people see that I'm
removing the legacy /db/_view API in this patch.
It was easier to delete that code than maintain it as I was working on the
refactor, so I deleted it.
I don't like maintaining API surface area that doesn't add functionality, and
now is a good time to fix this. COUCHDB-404 showed that we can support the
legacy view API if we need to. But that's a lot of code-weight for backwards
compatibility with our alpha APIs.
There are lots of other little fixes in here as well, I think this patch fixes
the issue discussed recently on user@ about _show responses and missing
documents [1], as well as doing a general clean-up in the interest of making
the query server code easier to understand, as well as prepping for my
function-hashing optimization.

If there are lots of people still hitting /db/_view/ on 0.10.x of course I'm
open to discussion, but I think this API isn't needed in 0.11.

>
> This patch refactors list, show, update, filter, and view handling to have a
> unified interface for loading the design document and functions from it. It
> is a step on the path to removing a lot of function src passing overhead from
> the view server protocol.
> The patch also removes some old part of the API while improving other parts
> of the API.
> The big changes:
> Load the design document before handing it to the design document handlers.
> This removes a lot of duplicated code.
> Remove /db/_view handler. I think it's in our interest to remove the last
> bits of the old-style API before 0.11.
> I also clean up some rough edges in the API.
> I plan to commit this patch soon, but want to give people an opportunity to
> look it over.
