How to reduce MongoDB size after remove data

[Aroxo Senraj]

1. First I have checked MongoDB Size 36GB

2. I have removed few tables data

3. Again I have checked MongoDB Size (36GB) not reduced. After I have searched google and solution. 

I have tried few below methods and take more time, slow my application (hang)

Method 1: db.repairDatabase

Method 2:

db.getMongo().getDBNames().forEach(function(dbName) {

    if ("local" != dbName && "admin" != dbName && "system" != dbName) {

        var subject = db.getSiblingDB(dbName);

        subject.getCollectionNames().forEach(function (collectionName) {

            print('Compacting: ' +dbName + " - " + collectionName);

            subject.runCommand({ compact: collectionName });

        });

    }

});

So, I need better solution. If any one know about this kindly let me know.

Hi Aroxo,

Questions related to the use of MongoDB (i.e. your question) are better sent to mongodb-user group. This group (mongodb-dev) is for discussion for/by/about developers/development/code of MongoDB.

Please post a new discussion on mongodb-user group with the following information:

• MongoDB server version
• Storage engine
• How did you check the "MongoDB size" ? i.e. filesystem commands or mongo shell commands

Regards,
Wan.
