Hi all,

I have big problems after migrating vom 1.4.199 to 2.2. 229-SNAPSHOT (and 
other 2.x.x versions). The snapshot build uses git code from 10.03.2024.

My database has around 50.000 tables storing several 100 millions of rows. 
Its a kind of time series database. Data is added continously (around 1500 
rows per second) and data older than 30 days is removed once a day. 

Apart from the fact that 2.x requires 50%-150% more CPU load compared to 
1.4 (using page store) I observed that the 2.x database grows continuously 
and with enormous rate when removing old data (from 20GB to 90GB in 10 
minutes while removing data).

My parameters are: 
WRITE_DELAY=10000;MAX_MEMORY_ROWS=1000000;MAX_OPERATION_MEMORY=50000000;ANALYZE_AUTO=0;RETENTION_TIME=0

As long as the automatic compaction did not show nice results I decided to 
switch off the automatic compaction, set MAX_COMPACT_TIME to 30000 and 
shutdown the database each 5 minutes using SHUTDOWN. I use SHUTDOWN instead 
of SHUTDOWN COMPACT to get control over the maximum time while the db is 
not available.

I observed that all of my SHUTDOWNs do not run longer than 7 seconds. The 
only effect is that INFO.LEAF_RATIO drops from x to 0 and the 
INFO.CHUNK_COUNT increases by 1. The database file size never shrinks. 
After 8 hours I got a database > 220GB.
After running SHUTDOWN its compact relevant parameters are:
INFO.CHUNKS_FILL_RATE 7
INFO.CHUNKS_FILL_RATE_RW 7
INFO.CHUNK_COUNT 86163
INFO.FILE_SIZE 223603212288
INFO.FILL_RATE 100
INFO.LEAF_RATIO 0
INFO.PAGE_COUNT 387816653
INFO.PAGE_COUNT_LIVE 51646729
INFO.PAGE_SIZE 16384

I checked MAX_COMPACT_TIME and it is 30000. 
Using H2 1.4.199 with PageStore and feeded with exact the same data creates 
a 36GB database without any SHUTDOWN.

Why does the compact algorithm has no effect to the database size? 
Why doesn't it fully use the MAX_COMPACT_TIME setting? 
Why dosen't it touch the CHUNKS_FILL_RATE?

Can you give an hint how to restrict the database file size?

Thanks!
Ulrich
