Hello all! We are running 3 ZK servers in ensemble, and ZK is processing a lot of commands per seconds. There are probably around 300 nodes created/checked/set/get per second. Since we have only information about live sessions we handle in ZK, we don't need any data persistency - eg: we can stop all nodes, clean all transaction logs/snapshots, and start them up again, without any issues. Since we have a lot of requests/changes, we have moved dataDir onto ramdisk, so we have no problems with disk IOPS, etc. Is there a way, to minimze the usage of snapshots/logs so ramdisk would not get filled up? It happens that transaction logs/snapshots grow so large, that we run out of space on ramdisk. We issue >/usr/share/zookeeper/bin/zkCleanup.sh -n 3< every 2 minutes, so this should cleanup the dataDir quite often. Why is >count number of snapshots/logs to keep< limited to 3 and not below? I assume, in my setup, I don't even need snapshots/logs to be stored after they are not actively needed? So my basic questions are: - can I somehow get rid of snapshot/logs sooner, more often ... ? - when is snapshot created? Can it be created sooner, so it would be smaller? - Is it possible to get rid of snapshot/logs all together?
Thank you for all your inputs and kind regards, Dejan Markic
