Dan Smith created GEODE-229: ------------------------------- Summary: Javadocs for DiskStoreFactory.setCompactionThreshold are incorrect Key: GEODE-229 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-229 Project: Geode Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Dan Smith Assignee: Dan Smith
The javadocs for compaction-threshold imply that we compact as soon as the amount of garbage is equal or greater than the threshold. >From DiskStoreFactory?.setCompactionThreshold {noformat} When the amount of garbage in an oplog exceeds this percentage then when a compaction * is done this garbage will be cleaned up freeing up disk space. Garbage is created by * entry destroys, entry updates, and region destroys. {noformat} However, looking at the code, it looks like we actually trigger compaction when the amount of non-garbage data is equal or less than the threshold: Here Oplog.needsCompaction, it looks like its saying the oplog needs compaction if the live count is less than the threshold. {code} long rvHWMtmp = this.totalCount.get(); if (rvHWMtmp > 0) { long tlc = this.totalLiveCount.get(); if (tlc < 0) { tlc = 0; } double rv = tlc; double rvHWM = rvHWMtmp; if (((rv / rvHWM) * 100) <= parent.getCompactionThreshold()) { return true; } } {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
