Issue:
With reference to article https://docs.microsoft.com/hi-in/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-reliable-actors-delete-actors , after Calling the DeleteActorMethod and enumerating the Actor list, the disk space is not getting cleaned up.
What can we analyze from our end:
We can check the snapshot of the partition size after RDP into the node. Below is an example of one the Partition folder (E.g.: a16a1c07-1468-4664-bf4f-483436dcbda0) size before Calling DeleteActorMethod:
After Calling DeleteActorMethod: Disk space remains same:
Points to Note:
For example, imagine the execution of the following operations:
The physical size of the DB remains to be 10GB after the occurrence of all the above operations. This is because of physical size not going down after the data is deleted as stated above. However, during step 3, the existing available space is reused instead of creating additional physical space.
The recommended way is to test on workloads with real data which is having huge size. Disk space is rarely a bottleneck is general workloads.
CompactionThresholdInMB = set to the max_data_size that customer expects to add like 5 GB + delta
FreePageSizeThresholdInMB = some threshold for skipping compaction if bloating is less than this size.. e.g. 500 MB
CompactionProbabilityInPercent = 5 or 10 %
These settings will make sure that compaction of partitions happen at appropriate time to reduce bloating of db files.
These can be set in settings.xml under “<ActorName>LocalStoreConfig” like “GameActorServiceLocalStoreConfig”
During this scenario, does the disk space reclaims?
The answer is No, because db file gets copied from some other node (which is in UP state) to new node.
For completeness, Replica folder and files get deleted on old node where replica is not needed anymore. New replica/node will get db files from current primary.
