[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1141) Docs deleted via PUT or POST do
not have contents removed.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1141?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13025482#comment-13025482 ]

----------------------------------------
>From IRC:
<tilgovi> huh. is 1141 actually an issue?
<tilgovi> it's certainly a lil weird
<tilgovi> but like, delete is via DELETE
<davisp> tilgovi: _bulk_docs?
<tilgovi> ohhhhhhhhhh snappppp
I think a proper fix should include detecting this during compaction and removing the contents at that point.

> 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.
