[GitHub] [couchdb-documentation] ParkSeungwon commented on issue #734: How can I disable auto compaction in couchdb 3.2? I want to preserve all the history for a specific database. Or completely disable auto compaction.

   Thanks a lot. Finally I got an answer.
   Because shards will be constantly changing.
   I would rather use another option you suggested.
   
   Could you explain the difference between these two?
   Because to comment out the setting is in the default init file
   I presume that this will also disable auto compaction?
   
   1. 
   [smoosh]
   ; db_channels = upgrade_dbs, ratio_dbs, slack_dbs
   
   2.
   [smoosh]
   db_channels = upgrade_dbs
   
   
   ---------------------------------------------
   I have a suggestion.
   If you are a developer of couchdb, why don't you let people do configuration like this.
   [smoosh.ignore]
   db_name = true
   
   this will be much easier than listing all shards.
   One of strong point of couchdb is its unique versioning system.
   I myself used couchdb because couchdb offers history of db and do not delete old document while updating.
   This is a really cool feature in some cases especially when the data is very important.
   I don't understand why you are not giving options to on and off auto compaction to the DB users.
   Please consider this..
