Collections: cbc inconsistent collection/scope with other command line tools

bug/improvement?

cbc-create (presume others) have two collection related arguments --scope and --collection

Other command line tools and for example N1QL use a different method of specifying a collection (which originated in N1QL) that is an almost 'path' style - scope.collection

All tools should have a consistent method of refering to a collection for an improved end-user experience

For example couchbase-cli to create a collection c01 in a scope s01

couchbase-cli collection-manage -c localhost:9000 -u Administrator -p asdasd --bucket default --create-collection s01.c01

Default collection can be explicit or implicit, the following commands do the same thing.

• explicit couchbase-cli collection-manage -c localhost:9000 -u Administrator -p asdasd --bucket default --create-collection _default.collection
• implicit couchbase-cli collection-manage -c localhost:9000 -u Administrator -p asdasd --bucket default --create-collection .collection

cbstats

• explicit cbstats localhost -u Administrator -p asdasd -b bucket collections _default.collection
• implicit cbstats localhost -u Administrator -p asdasd -b bucket collections .collection

Also these are equivalent

• explicit
  • cbstats localhost -u Administrator -p asdasd -b bucket collections _default._default
  • couchbase-cli collection-manage -c localhost -u Administrator -p asdasd --bucket bucket --drop-collection _default._default
• implicit
  • cbstats localhost -u Administrator -p asdasd -b bucket collections .
  • couchbase-cli collection-manage -c localhost -u Administrator -p asdasd --bucket bucket --drop-collection .
  • couchbase-cli collection-manage -c localhost -u Administrator -p asdasd --bucket bucket --drop-collection _default.

In summary

• Scope and collection fully specified and separated with a . scope.collection
• default scope can be named or implied .collection
• default collection can be named or implied _default.
• default collection and scope can be implied .
