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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
