davisp commented on issue #2666: soft-deletion for database URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/2666#issuecomment-607954397 Also, a couple quick thoughts on the HTTP API. Looking at it a bit harder I realized that we've basically duplicated some functionality because these two requests should be functionally equivalent: ``` GET /_deleted_dbs/DbName` GET /_deleted_dbs?key=DbName` ``` And I could see a convincing argument that the second form would be more "natural" within the existing APIs for views and so on. I've also heard some concerns that having the `undelete` vs `delete` semantics of our `POST /_deleted_dbs` setup makes auditing traffic hard/impossible without introspecting the request body which seems like a legitimate critique. How about if we tweaked things to be like such: * `GET /_deleted_dbs` - List deleted dbs infos as currently. * `POST /_deleted_dbs` - Only accepts the `undelete` JSON body * `DELETE /_deleted_dbs/DbName?timestamp=2020-01-01T00:00:00` - Remove deleted db /cc @mikerhodes @ricellis @nickva
