JE uses some background threads to keep your database resources within pre-configured limits. If they are
|
||
going to run, the background threads are started once per application per process. That is, if your application
|
||
opens the same environment multiple times, the background threads will be started just once for that process.
|
||
See the following list for the default conditions that gate whether an individual thread is run. Note that you
|
||
can prevent a background thread from running by using the appropriate <code class="filename">je.properties</code>
|
||
parameter, but this is not recommended for production use and those parameters are not described here.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The background threads are:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="itemizedlist">
|
||
<ul type="disc">
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Cleaner thread.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Responsible for cleaning and deleting unused log files. See <a class="xref" href="backgroundthreads.html#cleaner" title="The Cleaner Thread">The Cleaner Thread</a> for more information.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This thread is run only if the environment is opened for write access.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Compressor thread.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Responsible for cleaning up the internal BTree as database records are deleted. The compressor thread
|
||
ensures that the BTree does not contain unused nodes. There is no need for you to manage the
|
||
compressor and so it is not described further in this manual.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This thread is run only if the environment is opened for write access.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Checkpointer thread.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Responsible for running checkpoints on your environment. See
|
||
<a class="xref" href="backgroundthreads.html#checkpointer" title="The Checkpointer Thread">The Checkpointer Thread</a> for more information.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This thread always runs.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

<div class="titlepage">

<div>

<h3 class="title"><a id="cleaner"></a>The Cleaner Thread</h3>

The cleaner thread is responsible for cleaning, or compacting, your log files for you.
|
||
Log file cleaning is described in <a class="xref" href="backuprestore.html#logcleaning" title="Cleaning the Log Files">Cleaning the Log Files</a>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The following two properties may be of interest to you when managing the cleaner thread:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="itemizedlist">
|
||
<ul type="disc">
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<code class="literal">je.cleaner.minUtilization</code>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Identifies the percentage of the log file space that must be used for utilized records. If the
|
||
percentage of log file space used by utilized records is too low, then the cleaner removes
|
||
obsolete records until this threshold is reached. Default is 50%.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<code class="literal">je.cleaner.expunge</code>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Identifies the cleaner's behavior in the event that it is able to remove a log file. If
|
||
<code class="literal">true</code>, the log files that have been cleaned are deleted from the file system. If
|
||
<code class="literal">false</code>, the log files that have been cleaned are renamed from
|
||
<code class="literal">NNNNNNNN.jdb</code> to <code class="literal">NNNNNNNN.del</code>. You are then responsible for
|
||
deleting the renamed files.
|
||
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Note that the cleaner thread runs only if the environment is opened for write access. Also, be aware that
|
||
the cleaner is not guaranteed to finish running before the environment is closed, which can result in
|
||
unexpectedly large log files. See
|
||
<a class="xref" href="envclose.html" title="Closing Database Environments">Closing Database Environments</a> for more information.
