If I understand this correctly, the fact that you can not rely on
deleted documents being available cripples the synchronization
mechanism.
Situation:
Node A
=> Document X (rev 1)
Node B
=> Document X (rev 1)
Events:
1. Node A deletes Document X
2. Node A compacts its database
3. Node B synchronizes its database with Node A
=> Node B will not know that document X is deleted.
This is wrong. Deletes replicate. Node B will know after replication
that node A had the document X deleted.

Alternatively: if Document X is at rev 2 on Node B, no conflict
will be generated ...
I guess that the ' GET /dbname/id_of_deleted_document?deleted=true'
that you propose is needed, but doesn't the replication algorithm need
to be adapted too?
Kind Regards

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

there were,
it would be a non-deterministic operation. it's success would

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
