Subject: Re: View files 3x larger when moving from CouchDB 1.2 to 1.4
Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 10:50:13 +0200

My mistake. The view compaction hadn't run properly. I now rerun it for all the views of the database and it's down to 18GB. 

Best regards

For example on the 1.2 database one of the hidden view directories took 30GB and now it takes 90GB. What is the reason for this drastic file size increase? Can I change a setting to have it behave as 1.2?
