Benoit Chesneau commented on COUCHDB-1141: ------------------------------------------ To add another client issue about this behaviour, if people want to make sure the doc content is emptied on bulk doc it will imply we remove all properties except _id, and _rev or create a new new empty doc before sending this doc, which would slow down the process a lot. > Docs deleted via PUT or POST do not have contents removed. > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-1141 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1141 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Database Core > Environment: All > Reporter: Wendall Cada > Assignee: Robert Newson > Fix For: 1.1.1, 1.2 > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
