[Openstack] [Swift] Database index on object(deleted, name)

Hi,

I see that Swift creates an index on the object table on the columns
(deleted, name) in the container server. Where part of Swift queries
the database for names where 'deleted = true'?

I thought when an object is deleted, Swift synchronously truncates the
file and renames it with a .ts extension. Is that not enough to
identify a deleted object?
