[jira] Updated: (COUCHDB-780) Don't block the updater process while compaction deletes old files

["Randall Leeds (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-780?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Randall Leeds updated COUCHDB-780:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: async_compact_delete.patch

Instead of just deleting the old .couch file and then renaming the .compact file, move the .couch file out the way and delete it asynchronously. This patch should prevent slow deletion of huge files for filesystems using indirect blocks (like ext3) from blocking the updater process.

> I have what I think is a simple patch I'll attach. I don't see any reason not to include it unless rename operations can be seriously slow on some filesystems (but I expect this is not the case).
