[Question #182476]: why isn't there a recursive wildcard?

 

New question #182476 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/182476

Hi,

I'm wondering why there isn't a recursive wildcard in the graphite webapp. Looking at the code, "*" is translated to a regexp that's roughly [^.]+, so it only matches one path component. Would it make sense to also have a wildcard like "**" that recurses?

Is there a performance reason for not doing this?

thanks,
--dave
