I'm running into memory issues and wondering if I should be using
expungeDeletes on commits. The server in question at the moment has
450k documents in the collection and represents 15GB on disk. There are
also 700k+ "Deleted Docs" and I'm guessing that is part of the disk
space consumption but I am not having any luck getting that cleared
out. I noticed the expungeDeletes=false in some of the log output
related to commit but didn't try setting it to true yet. Will this clear
those deleted documents and recover that space? Or should something
else already be managing that but maybe isn't configured correctly?
Our data is user specific data, each customer has their own database
structure so it varies with each user. They also add/remove data fairly
frequently in many cases. To compare another collection of the same
data type, there are 1M documents and about 120k deleted docs but disk
space is only 6.3GB.
Hoping someone can share some advice about how to manage this.
Thanks,
Eric
