I just discovered yesterday that there is a backdoor to let you view
the deleted document, but only if you know it's revision:
GET /dbname/id_of_deleted_doument?rev=1-90394320932
Perhaps this is a backdoor we just forgot to close. On the other
hand, I think it would be nice to allow non-guaranteed "reverts" of
accidentally deleted documents. 99% of the time, an immediate revert
of a delete would work just fine. I think I'd also be in favor of
making it possible to view the deleted document content without
knowing its revision beforehand; e.g. something like
GET /dbname/id_of_deleted_document?deleted=true

deleted docs are present in the data file until a compaction occurs.

said, i don't know if there's a way to access one, but even if there
were,
it would be a non-deterministic operation. it's success would depend
on
whether a compact was performed.

Hello there,
I'm writting a piece of code in which i would like to be able to
retrieve
documents that have already been deleted by the user. I was
wondering if
that is possible or in the other hand the document is completely
deleted.
Thanks for any help,
Manuel
