Harshal, I take it you are using the default backend, bitcask? If so you should know it's an append only log format that is periodically merged. So until a merge is triggered the data will only grow. Even if you delete objects it still grows as a delete is actually just a special tombstone msg added to the log.
You can read more about bitcask configuration here: http://wiki.basho.com/Bitcask.html -Ryan On Wed, Sep 28, 2011 at 2:26 PM, Harshal Dhir <[email protected]>wrote: > * > > Hi, > * > * > > > We are performing index on a "heavy" write bucket, and it seems its > consuming a lot of diskspace. > > > The logic is something like this: > > > "a", "b", "c" are the logical categories, we save combination of these > categories > > > "a b", "a c", "b c", "a b c" and so we are looking at lot of data.
