Leveldb, as written by Google, does not actively clean up delete "tombstones" or prior data records with the same key. The old data and tombstones stay on disk until they happen to participate in compaction at the highest "level". The clean up can therefore happen days, weeks, or even months later depending upon the size of your dataset, speed of incoming writes, and distribution of new keys versus deleted keys.
Basho has added code to leveldb in Riak 2.0 to more aggressively free up disk space. Details on this 2.0 feature are here: https://github.com/basho/leveldb/wiki/mv-aggressive-delete Matthew Von-Maszewski On Mar 22, 2014, at 1:53, István <lecc...@gmail.com> wrote: > All good, all the keys are gone! :) > > I am just waiting Riak to free up the space.
