That's in interesting read. I know I will only be purging in one process so I figure I can skip most of the sanity checks there. My takeaway is that I can send one and only one purge request between querying views. More than one and the view will be invalidated. However I can purge 100k documents in a single request if I choose to, something which wasn't 100% clear to me earlier. So the process would be Send a purge request for the next batch of 100k documents Query the view Loop I realise I can do this via a filtered replication but replication seems a lot slower than compaction to me and I'm not sure I can afford the time or disk space to do a replication into a new database.
