Jens Alfke commented on COUCHDB-1530:
-------------------------------------
Note: It's possible to find the deleted documents by iterating over the
database's entire _changes feed, but it's expensive.
> 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.
