+ == View compaction ==
+ 
+ There is a compact views feature:
+ {{{
+ POST /dbname/_compact/designname
+ }}}
+ 
+ This compacts the views from the current version of the design document, but old versions (from when the design document had a different hash) remain.
+ 
+ If you want to remove old views from disk then
+ {{{
+ POST /dbname/_view_cleanup
+ }}}
+
