Hi,

I'm importing now a big number of documents in CouchDB.
The documents have only single revision. And they will stay with single rev in one of the DB's I notice that the Db size grows significantly, then, after compact drops by 70%.

This process - import of single version documents will occur once a week.

Why is so much space wasted? Is it something normal?

Is it a good practice to run periodically compact and cleanup?

Is there some DB size limit, after which the compact and cleanup may cause issue or have problems to run? E.g. file descriptors, memory. How should I configure checkpoint_after, doc_buffer_size?

Thanks in advance.
