Hi Yarek,
Regarding to data migration, it is migration between different stores.
My understanding of the typical cases are:
1. Change the backend. e.g. change BDB to Postmodern .
2. Upgrade. e.g. your application uses elephant 0.9.1 and BDB 4.5; To
upgrade elephant from 0.9.1 to 1.0, you need to install BDB 4.7 and run the
migration process.
3. Garbage collection. Prior to 1.0, doing a DB migration is the only
way for it. From a recent email, Ian released the online garbage collection
feature in 1.0. It is in experiment status.
Regards
Quan
