This way a malicious user > can prevent cleaning up data for the aborted transaction, creating > performance degradation. > This configuration should be allowed to overridden on a database level: > adding {color:#6a8759}no_auto_compaction=false{color} should override the > table level setting forcing the initiator to schedule compaction for all > tables. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
