[Xapian-discuss] Incremental updates and disk space ...

[Marinos Yannikos]

Hi,

we've been using Xapian in production for several months now and update 
our (chert) databases continuously. A freshly generated index occupies 
only around ~35% of the disk space compared to what it becomes after a 
few days. This is not a huge concern (we use SSDs), but I've been 
wondering whether there is a way to fine-tune this (other than 
recreating the index frequently), so that less disk space is wasted or 
it degrades a little slower.

Regards,
  Marinos
