Julian Reschke commented on OAK-4780:
-------------------------------------
[~mreutegg] - another question - am I right that if any of the delete
operations fails, the whole VGC will abort? What would happen with "orphaned"
prev docs then?
> VersionGarbageCollector should be able to run incrementally

> Key: OAK-4780
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-4780
> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: documentmk
> Reporter: Julian Reschke
> Attachments: leafnodes.diff
>
>
> Right now, the documentmk's version garbage collection runs in several phases.
> It first collects the paths of candidate nodes, and only once this has been
> successfully finished, starts actually deleting nodes.
> This can be a problem when the regularly scheduled garbage collection is
> interrupted during the path collection phase, maybe due to other maintenance
> tasks. On the next run, the number of paths to be collected will be even
> bigger, thus making it even more likely to fail.
> We should think about a change in the logic that would allow the GC to run in
> chunks; maybe by partitioning the path space by top level directory.
