Benoit Chesneau created COUCHDB-2050: ----------------------------------------
Summary: don't throw errors in the core API modules like couch_db Key: COUCHDB-2050 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2050 Project: CouchDB Issue Type: Improvement Security Level: public (Regular issues) Components: Database Core Reporter: Benoit Chesneau If we look at the code of {{couch_db:open/2}} for example, we are catching error in it and rethrowing them. Where a more convenient pattern would be to return {ok, db} | {error, Error} . While throwing easier makes catching Error in the HTTP layer currently, it force us to catch calls in other cases when you are working for example to an Erlang module. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
