Hi,
I recently upgraded from CouchDB 1.2 to 1.4. I have noticed that the database
compaction is running more or less all the time during the allowed compaction
time. Is there a known issue for this with 1.4?
The compaction is completed on each run and the reported database size is
smaller on the first run during the compaction time. But then it starts again
for the same database, and when completed, starts again, etc. It's like it
thinks that the database is still fragmented even if it's not.
The databases are quite large (~5GB), so it's not the case that many documents
have had time to change during the compaction time.
These are my settings:
[{db_fragmentation, "20%"}, {view_fragmentation, "20%"}, {from, "03:00"}, {to,
"11:00"}]
The harddrive is not full, it has about 70GB of free space.
I have a large percentage of deleted documents, if that might be a reason for
the issue/bug.
I don't have the same problem for view compaction.
Best regards
Calle Arnesten
