wohali commented on issue #1480: add partition endpoint for views URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/1480#issuecomment-409565736 ``` 08:48 <garren> Wohali: I don't quite follow what you mean here https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/1480#issuecomment-409554240 08:51 <-- ASFBot (~ASFBot@apache/bot/asfbot) has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) 08:51 <@Wohali> I mean, rnewson and i have had a long standing discussiona bout introducing a new endpoint on 5984 for shard-level queries 08:52 <@Wohali> we haven't been able to come up with the right endpoint yet 08:52 <@Wohali> but it eventually needs to exist 08:52 <@Wohali> and i just want to ensure that by introducing the new concept of a _partition we aren't further confusing people 08:52 <@Wohali> because I wouldn't be surprised to see an endpoint like /db/_shard/000000-1ffffff/... 08:53 <@Wohali> and then the question becomes: is this a db partition, or a view partition you are proposing? 08:53 <@Wohali> if the latter, then why not /db/_ddoc/name/_view/viewname/_partition 08:53 <@Wohali> i'm trying not to bikeshed, but our ui is already somewhat complex, and it's only going to get worse, that's all 08:53 <@Wohali> does that make sense? 08:55 <garren> Yes that makes sense thanks. 08:55 <@Wohali> i 100% guarantee you that people will not understand the difference between a db shard and a db partition if we introduce both concepts without careful thought :) 08:55 <garren> THe one thing is that a shard can hold multiple partitions. So they are related but not that related to shards 08:55 <@Wohali> subtle. 08:55 <garren> Yeah I agree 100% 08:57 <@rnewson> hasn't the partition proposal been on dev@ yet? 08:57 <@rnewson> cause I'm deep into implementation at this point and so is garren 08:57 <@Wohali> changing the endpoint is minor 08:57 <@Wohali> i'm fine with the concept 08:58 <@Wohali> i am not happy with the partition being at the 2nd level in the route, though 08:58 <@Wohali> i am not happy with the partition being at the 2nd level in the route, though 08:58 <@rnewson> can you respond to the thread saying so then? 08:58 <@Wohali> yes ```
