[Xapian-discuss] xapian-replicate errors

[Kevin Duraj]

The reason why Master has 63GB and Replica has only 30GB is because deleted documents from Master are not replicated to Replica.

In Master you have all documents deleted and not deleted, only not deleted, documents are sent to Replica which contains only active documents.
