add delete options for controlling file deletion
------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-1137
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1137
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Database Core
Affects Versions: 1.0.2
Reporter: Randall Leeds
Priority: Minor
Even after switching to an extents-based filesystem I've noticed that deleting
files after compaction can sometimes be terribly painful and slow.
Additionally, deleting large pre-compact database and view files places extra
load on the server that may be best kept to off hours. These sorts of large
databases might be impossible to run a complete compact cycle on in short time.
I'm suggesting we add an option to allow couch to leave files to be deleted in
the .delete directories so administrators can delete them at their leisure
(presumably at off hours or with a tool like ionice).
