Chetan Mehrotra commented on OAK-2808:
--------------------------------------
bq. Merely placing index files within the datastore according to their path
rather than their content would immediately alleviate the bloat problem with
indexes simply because the file contents could be overwritten in place
[[email protected]] The lucene index files are never updated i.e. next
incremental run would create new index files. Hence the file would not be
overwritten. So we would need to implement a way to actively delete such files
> Active deletion of 'deleted' Lucene index files from DataStore without
> relying on full scale Blob GC

> With storing of Lucene index files within DataStore our usage pattern
> of DataStore has changed between JR2 and Oak.
> With JR2 the writes were mostly application based i.e. if application
> stores a pdf/image file then that would be stored in DataStore. JR2 by
> default would not write stuff to DataStore. Further in deployment
> where large number of binary content is present then systems tend to
> share the DataStore to avoid duplication of storage. In such cases
> running Blob GC is a non trivial task as it involves a manual step and
> coordination across multiple deployments. Due to this systems tend to
> delay frequency of GC
> Now with Oak apart from application the Oak system itself *actively*
> uses the DataStore to store the index files for Lucene and there the
> churn might be much higher i.e. frequency of creation and deletion of
> index file is lot higher. This would accelerate the rate of garbage
> generation and thus put lot more pressure on the DataStore storage
> requirements.
