--------------------------------------
Summary: Allow deletions to expire after set time
Key: COUCHDB-1576
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1576
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Database Core
Affects Versions: 1.2
Reporter: Michel Meyers
Currently, CouchDB keeps all deletions forever. On a very active database this
can lead to the number of deletions actually exceeding the number of active
documents.
Lotus Domino solves this by having a cut-off date after which deletion stubs
are purged from a replica. It would be great to have a similar functionality in
CouchDB, e.g. have a setting that determines how long deletion stubs are kept
and then purges them from the local copy. Whether this setting resides in the
DB design, and thus replicates everywhere, or possibly an INI setting for the
local CouchDB instance is still to be determined.
