Thanks; we're doing GC over the next few days (starting...now actually).

  Full GC (removing everything which is not needed to read the current DB state), or partial GC (removing old metadata such as indexes, but leaving behind data which has been deleted/modified)? The former is much harder -- it's a significantly complex task just to figure out which data records are still live.

    Full GC. In the framework of what we're doing, it's not very complicated (we think). This is because of our indexing scheme (we can simply walk the index tree while the database answers queries). We hope to release more info on this shortly.

      Cool -- good to see that you're thinking about this stuff ahead of time rather than sitting down to write code and suddenly realizing that you painted yourself into a corner. :-)

        I did that once and regretted it.

          you must have programmed once in your life then.
