Description
This allows conditionally persist deletes on a per document basis to prevent them from being merged away. This expert feature is useful to maintain history of documents in the index where otherwise a duplicate storage mechanism would be needed. For instance features like CouchDBs changes API can be build on top of persistent deletes. While using persistent deletes has a considerably small overhead at merge time or when deletes applied to fully deleted segments, there is no impact if persistent deletes are unused.
