//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// @startDocuBlock WalLogfileReserveLogfiles /// @brief maximum number of reserve logfiles /// --wal.reserve-logfiles /// /// The maximum number of reserve logfiles that ArangoDB will create in a /// background process. Reserve logfiles are useful in the situation when an /// operation needs to be written to a logfile but the reserve space in the /// logfile is too low for storing the operation. In this case, a new logfile /// needs to be created to store the operation. Creating new logfiles is /// normally slow, so ArangoDB will try to pre-create logfiles in a background /// process so there are always reserve logfiles when the active logfile gets /// full. The number of reserve logfiles that ArangoDB keeps in the background /// is configurable with this option. /// @endDocuBlock ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
