Compact and copy feature that resets changes
--------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-1243
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1243
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Database Core
Affects Versions: 1.1, 1.0.1
Environment: Ubuntu, but not important
Reporter: Henrik Hofmeister
After running db and view compaction on a 7K doc db with 6+ mio. changes - it
takes up 0.8 GB. If copying the same documents to a new db (get and bulk
insert) - the same date with 7K changes takes up 40 mb. That is a huge
difference. Has been verified on 2 db's that the difference is more than 65
times the size of data.
A "Compact and copy" feature that copies only documents, and resets the changes
for at db would be very nice to try and limit the disk usage a little bit. (Our
current test environment takes up nearly 100 GB... )
