[jira] Resolved: (COUCHDB-1003) deleting db file is asynchronous & file rename in couch_file:delete

["Robert Newson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1003?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Robert Newson resolved COUCHDB-1003.
------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

This behavior is intentional and desired.

If there's a better behavior, we should discuss in @dev or IRC and then raise tickets focused on making those changes. For example, we could discuss whether 202 is more appropriate status code and then a file of ticket to change that.

> I wonder why we spawn the file deletion when we delete a database. On slow io machine it introduces latency. I don't see any reason we make this deletion asynchronous ?
> About couch_file:delete, we first rename the file before deleting it. Why are we doing that ? Is this for windows ?
