compact

compact store-namemax-time

Compacts the store files for the specified store. Compaction is available for stores of type file.

Since compaction can be a lengthy operation and it blocks other operations, max-time specifies a time limit (in seconds) for the operation. Note that max-time must be a number greater than zero.

For stores of type file:

  • If truncation is not enabled for the store file, the compact command does not reduce the file size. Enable truncation using the file_truncate parameter in the stores.conf file. See stores.conf for more information.
  • We recommend compacting the store files only when the Used Space usage is 30% or less (see show store).
