When issuing a get_content() call against a deleted post or comment, hivemind returns a "post was not found in cache" error. It should either return an explicit error message or an empty post as hived did before.

This is because of the view hive_posts_view which filters out deleted items in its WHERE clause.

• How to reproduce

{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"condenser_api.get_content", "params":["stortebeker", "re-deflacion-qhxrya"], "id":1 }

actual result:

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "error": {
        "code": -32602,
        "message": "Invalid parameters",
        "data": "post was not found in cache"
    },
    "id": 1
}

expected result:

• Proposed solution

As many other condenser API rely on hive_posts_view and removing the where clause will have a lot of side effects, create a separate query for get_content()
