Hi,
the point is when the database is clustered, it's split up in many
databases really with long IDs in their names, so it's not just "use the
backdoor port". Do an _all_dbs on the backdoor port to find out the exact
names.
I never tried to compact them manually - you may want to backup before
trying. Btw: there is a discussion already going on:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-dev/201505.mbox/%3C20150513202728.BF32125093%40wilderness.apache.org%3E
Good luck - sorry there is no silver bullet here. Would be great when you
can let us know your result / experience!
