Randall Leeds updated COUCHDB-1137:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: delete_options.patch
Patch add delete options. Currently just async and nodelete. nodelete might be
a confusing name. I'm open to better suggestions.
> add delete options for controlling file deletion

> 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).
