Hi Matthew,
Thanks for correcting my misunderstanding! -- Dave Brady ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Von-Maszewski" <matth...@basho.com> To: "Dave Brady" <dbr...@weborama.com> Cc: riak-users@lists.basho.com Sent: Friday, July 26, 2013 4:31:36 PM GMT +01:00 Amsterdam / Berlin / Bern / Rome / Stockholm / Vienna Subject: Re: Riak 1.4.0: *Massive* disk space saving with eLevelDB Dave, Glad you are happy. The truth is that you gained space via the backup/restore process. The data formats of 1.3.1 and 1.4 are the same. leveldb only removes dead / old key/values during its background compaction. It could be days, even weeks in some cases, between when you write fresh key/values and when their old version are discarded. Your restore process only put the fresh keys back into the database. The old versions were never part of the backup. Matthew On Jul 26, 2013, at 7:52 AM, Dave Brady < dbr...@weborama.com > wrote: Thank you Basho for the new on-disk format changes to eLevelDB! We have just migrating from 1.3.1 to 1.4.0, and since we wanted to change the ring size too, we used Dan Kerrigan's Data Migrator to backup/restore our buckets. The space savings are very impressive! Each node went from using about 410 GB to about 250 GB. Terrific! -- Dave Brady _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
