-----------------------------------
Attachment: configurable_db_and_view_compaction.patch
> Configurable database and view compaction settings

> Key: COUCHDB-1142
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1142
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Filipe Manana
> Assignee: Filipe Manana
> Fix For: 1.2

> Currenly the database compaction code uses an hard coded batch size of 1 000
> doc infos and a checkpoint frequency of 10 000 (a checkpoint is done after
> every 10 000 documents are copied to the compaction file).
> As part of the experiment/discussion of COUCHDB-1132, it was agreed to make
> both these values configurable (see the comments of that issue). The results
> I posted there also show that increasing the batch size results in a smaller
> file size. I made some tests after this on a 2.2Gb database, and I noticed
> that at least in this machine (Linux 32 bits, 5400rpms spinning disk),
> increasing the batch size increases compaction time - this might necessarily
> be true on other systems.
> Here are some tests (before running each, I cleared my filesystem caches with
> "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches").
> Fpr this particular database, 1 000 doc infos correspond to about 100Kb.
> 2.2Gb database, 232 551 documents
