WT_CURSOR URI doesn't always match create URI

    • Type: Icon: Task Task

    • Affects Version/s: None
    • Component/s: None

      Sometimes the URI stored in a

      Unable to find source-code formatter for language: wt_cursor```. Available languages are: actionscript, ada, applescript, bash, c, c#, c++, cpp, css, erlang, go, groovy, haskell, html, java, javascript, js, json, lua, none, nyan, objc, perl, php, python, r, rainbow, ruby, scala, sh, sql, swift, visualbasic, xml, yaml
       doesn't match that passed in by the user to 

      WT_SESSION::open_cursor

      . For example if "table:mytable" is passed in to 

      open_cursor

      , the WT_CURSOR->uri field may be 

      file:mytable.wt`.

      That could be confusing for users of the API, who may access the field. We actually document that it matches:

      The name of the data source for the cursor, matches the uri parameter to WT_SESSION::open_cursor used to open the cursor.
