Docs deleted via PUT or POST do not have contents removed.
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-1141
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1141
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Database Core
Environment: All
Reporter: Wendall Cada
If a doc is deleted via -X DELETE, the resulting doc contains only
id/rev_deleted:true. However, if a doc is deleted via PUT or POST, through
adding _deleted:true, the entire contents of the doc remains stored. Even after
compaction, the original document contents remain.
This issue is causing databases with large docs to become bloated over time, as
the original doc contents remain in the database even after being deleted.
