Is it
true that couchdb keeps a small amount of data around indefinitely
for every
deleted document, for replication purposes? If so this would keep
growing.
(And whilst I've seen discussion about pruning old _revs, I've not
seen
discussion of pruning deleted documents)
CouchDB has got purge. From couch_tests.js:
var xhr = CouchDB.request("POST", "/test_suite_db/_purge", {
body: JSON.stringify({"1":[doc1._rev], "2":[doc2._rev]}),
});
Cheers
