And there was some discussion about that too. ASFAIK there are no plans currently to implement document versioning. I'm not sure about the implications. If you are on one node what might work is to say, that you want to keep 10 versions around (even after compaction). But what happens when replication is involved and you get document versions replicated to your node? suddenly (after compaction) you have still 10 versions around, but some from your local, some from another node, some of them in conflict. I think there were some more and other problems involved around that, but I think that this feature won't be around for some time.
