Automatically Deleting Old Checkpoints

The checkpoint_retention_limit configuration option can be used to ensure that the number of checkpoints does not keep growing and consuming disk space.

For more information on retention limits, see Retention Limits. As mentioned previously, the number of checkpoints to keep for your data grid can be controlled by using the grid configuration option:
  • checkpoint_retention_limit (Default: 0)
The default checkpoint_retention_limit is 0 which means that older checkpoints are not removed.
