storage/tokudb uses too much space

[MARK CALLAGHAN]

I downloaded the MariaDB 10.2 branch and storage/tokudb uses 161M. No other engine uses more than 20M. Lots of network, time and disk space is wasted because of this. A big problem is huge files in the test directories. I filed a bug with MariaDB for this. Just wanted to share. I assume the problem also exists in Percona repos.

Yes, most of this is the result of a few tests that are generated and of the "spray and pray" variety coming from Tokutek. They may have been good tests to run as part of a QA cycle but are certainly not of the type of test that should be included for Continuous Integration. We have already marked many of them as big-test only but I don't believe we will be pulling them from the suites any time soon.
