[jira] [Resolved] (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:all-tabpanel ]

Damien Katz resolved COUCHDB-1141.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem
      Assignee: Damien Katz  (was: Robert Newson)

This is by design. Deleted documents are supposed be able to contain meta information about who deleted them, etc, because they replicate. The problem might be a documentation issue, as clients need to make sure the document body is empty when bulk deleting.

> 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.
