Hey devs, I'm trying to compact a production database here (in hope to recover some space), and made the following observations:
* the set is 212+ million docs * currently 0.8 TB in size * the instance (XL) has 2 cores, one is idle, the other maybe utilized at 10% * memory - 2 of 15 GB taken, no spikes * io - well it's EBS :( When I started _compact read operations slowed down (I'll give you 20 Mississippi's for something that loads instantly otherwise). Everything "eventually" worked, but it slowed down tremendously. I restarted the CouchDB process and everything is back to "snap". Does anyone have any insight on why that is the case? Till
