At the same -time, one of the steps of garbage collection is generational compactification. -This is a mechanism for storing large objects in chunks, and it takes some time -to scan the youngest generation and split up the large objects. - -Users may be interested in clearing the entire cache at once, so there is no -need to worry about storage validity and spend extra time on compactification. -Currently, there is no way to skip compactification, since this may invalidate -the large object CAS. This results into the need for calling `just gc` several -times manually, and the waiting time depends on the size of the youngest -generation. - -Proposal --------- - -The `gc` command gets an additional mode that removes all generation folders -without compactification. - -Update `just` `gc` command to support the `--all` flag. This flag is -incompatible with `--no-rotate`, and an error must be reported if those two -flags are met. |
