Good Morning Nostronians. I've got a SOLID class to teach this morning, so I'll have to push more-speech development to this afternoon. However, I woke up early and did a few experiments. Using the REPL I manually evicted a few thousand of the oldest events from my XTDB database. I had thought this would reduce the physical size of the DB. Instead, the DB _grew_ in size.

Hmmm. Given that the DB is currently 13GB and is growing rather rapidly, I'm going to need a way to remove old events and reclaim that space. I wonder if I'll have to resort to copying one DB to another and just copying the events I want to keep. Ick.

I posted a question on the XTDB forum. I'll let you know how it all turns out.
