Hi,
I've tried this one as well, but the error was:
{"error":"not_found","reason":"no_db_file"}
It seems that the 5986 endpoint doesn't know anything about the database.
If compaction needs to be done per-shard, as the error message says, then
I'd expect to see something that identifies the shard to be compacted. Like
00000000-1fffffff for example.
