Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-1141:
--------------------------------------------
Heh, if by documentation issue you mean eleven of twelve committers had no idea
that it was intentional. :D
Though it brings up the question, is this information accessible over the HTTP
API in any manner? I can't think of anything but I can't say it's something
I've checked.
> Docs deleted via PUT or POST do not have contents removed.

> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Database Core
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Wendall Cada
> Assignee: Damien Katz
> Fix For: 1.2

>
> 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.
