Is there a way to update / delete a document given only its id

[YIXIAO SHEN]

Hi,

I'm using jcouchdb to access CouchDB from java, I need to update and delete
some documents but the only thing I know is the document id. Is there an
easy way to do so? Or do I have to fisrt retrieve the current ver of the
document from CouchDB and then do the update / delete?

Thanks,
