Research direction

Start by tracing where deleted document versions are stored and how document metadata, especially the path, is represented. Define an API that retrieves deleted documents so they can be identified for restoration, then verify that the returned list includes enough metadata to locate and restore each document.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When a document is deleted a version of it is stored just before the delete happens. This version is added to the list of existing versions of the document, and then the document is deleted. In theory this should allow the document to be restored after deletion.

However currently there is no mechanism yet to restore (or find) deleted documents.

We need to add an API to retrieve the list of deleted document so that they can be restored, for example we can keep an index of these documents. The documents themselves have a path in the metadata which will help with the restore operation.
