To be honest, I'm not sure what portion of the Couchbase stack it is most directly related to:
CBL (mobile)/REST API is what generates and updates the documents, but as I understand it the sync_gateway is responsible for handling revisions/history. I would have expected the old revisions and the old metadata to be deleted during the compaction cycle that we run on the sync_gateway every 24 hours. While this does delete the old revisions of the documents, the metadata pertaining to the old documents is still present in the current revisions. So I'm not really sure which service (couchbase server, sync_gateway, or CBL) is most responsible for the excessive bloating of metadata in the server. That's really what I'm trying to figure out. I was hoping there was just some configurable field somewhere on the Couchbase server or sync gateway that would stop keeping track of this old data, like "maintain_sync_history: false" or something.
