You can configure the IDOL Content component to compress the nodetable
directory to reduce the disk footprint, by using the NodeTableCompression
configuration parameter.
NOTE: If you change the compression method after you have started the server, the compression applies only for operations that index new data or rewrite existing data (such as DREREPLACE
).
To compress or change the compression of the whole index, you can run a DRECOMPACT
operation with the NodeTableCompactWindowKB
parameter set. For more information, refer to the IDOL Server Reference.
For more information about the NodeTableCompression
option, and the compression method to use, refer to IDOL Expert.
Open the IDOL Content component configuration file in a text editor.
In the [Server]
section, add the NodeTableCompression
parameter and set it to the compression method that you want to use to compress the index.
You can set it to one of the following values:
zlib
snappy
lz4
lz4hc
Save and close the configuration file.
Restart the IDOL Content component for your changes to take effect.
