Hi, So a couple complaints/queries are beginning trickling in regarding journal space requirements.
A user was complaining that rotated journals were taking up too much room and they could be compressed down etc. I did explain that a rotated journal is really any different to the current journal other than it can be sealed, but I do fear he has some kind of point regarding long term storage. Should there be some kind of journal archiver system that will run xz -9 on older journals? Is this something that's being planned or is it left as an exercise for the reader to implement such long term storage/archiving systems? IMO it would be nice to be able to trigger such service when the journal is rotated (i.e. a templated unit) that can either just compress the journal in place (assuming the user does not want to be able to read from it actively any more) or copy a compressed version to some archive dir to do with as the user pleases.
