Re: About file channel

Yanzhi,

It looks like the size of the data folder used by file channel does not
reduce even after all the data has been sent to the target.

The file channel is implemented as a write-ahead log and will continue to
grow the log files. Eventually (depending upon the configured maximum size
of the log files, or due to restart of the channel) the log files will get
rolled, but the old files may still be kept around until all events in them
are dereferenced completely. Only then will the old files be deleted and
space freed up on the system.
