[jira] [Created] (COUCHDB-1530) Add a mode to _all_docs to include
deleted docs
Jens Alfke created COUCHDB-1530:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Add a mode to _all_docs to include deleted docs
Key: COUCHDB-1530
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1530
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.2
Reporter: Jens Alfke
Priority: Minor
There's currently no efficient way to discover the deleted documents in a database, since _all_docs only returns active documents. It can be useful to show all documents, even deleted ones, for troubleshooting or forensic purposes.
I propose adding an option like "?include_deleted=true" to _all_docs that will cause it to return deleted documents as well. To provide a way to tell deleted docs apart from active ones (if the include_docs option isn't on), the "value" object should include a "deleted":true property for those docs.

-------------------------------------
Note: It's possible to find the deleted documents by iterating over the database's entire _changes feed, but it's expensive.

--------------------------------------------
+1 for include_deleted. Though I'll note that this won't allow for an efficient view of *only* deleted docs. Perhaps a view option like local seqs or including design docs that allows users to create views would be a good addition as well.
