[jira] [Commented] (JENA-804) Jena is not reusing already allocated space on the file system which results in large amounts of disk space reserved by Jena files

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-804?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14577340#comment-14577340 ] 

Keith Wells commented on JENA-804:
----------------------------------

This issue has become a pain point: we have encountered examples with our customers where the TDB index has grown to very large sizes.  One example is a 170 GB index which after unloading and reloading the nquads, the size of their index was reduced to 17GB.

> We have a product based on Jena TDB where we insert quads to Jena TDB along with the deletion of quads.  We understand the performance over space architectural decision to not clean up deleted nodeids from the indexes. But the usage of disk space appears that Jena TDB is not reusing allocated space which had been allocated by Jena previously.  Based on this comment there appears to be something that is not correct on file space utilization,

> In this scenario on the same JVM with NO server stops or starts, we add 27765 graphs to IndexTdb and immediately remove them,  repeating this process several times.

> The system starts with 193MB of data allocated by indexTdb.  A reindex consists of a remove followed by an add of these graphs. As you can see from the data there is a dramatic increase in the size of indexTdb on the disk after repeadedly removing and adding graphs.  After Reindex 23, there is 378 MB of disk space used.  If Jena TDB reused allocated space there would be no need to allocate more space other than what is used by deleted node ids (unless nodeid storage is eating all of this space?).  Jena does not appear to be reusing the allocated disk space.  At the very end of this scenario, we exported the nquads and reloaded them to show the original disk space was 193MB back to where it started. 
> We believe Jena TDB is not reusing the space allocated by the TDB file system within the same JVM.
