@startDocuBlock WalLogfileSuppressShapeInformation @brief suppress shape information `--wal.suppress-shape-information` Setting this variable to *true* will lead to no shape information being written into the write-ahead logfiles for documents or edges. While this is a good optimization for a single server to save memory (and disk space), it it will effectively disable using the write-ahead log as a reliable source for replicating changes to other servers. A master server with this option set to *true* will not be able to fully reproduce the structure of saved documents after a collection has been deleted. In case a replication client requests a document for which the collection is already deleted, the master will return an empty document. Note that this only affects replication and not normal operation on the master. **Do not set this variable to *true* on a server that you plan to use as a replication master** @endDocuBlock
