Releasing Memory used by CouchBase Documents

[Arash Ashrafi]

Here is the scenario:

1. I read some documents (view-query) from a CouchBase Lite database and add that to self.someCouchDocs.

2. I use self.someCouchDocs at some point.

3. When I don't need it any more, I want to get rid of it and release the memory used by that.

4. I set self.someCouchDocs to nil. But, the memory does not seem to be released.

Is there anyway to release those object from memory?

Couchbase Lite caches a limited number of recently used documents in memory; I think the number is 50. (Only the bodies are cached, not attachments.) This should’t cause memory problems; if it does, you should consider splitting up your documents into something smaller, or moving the large data into attachments.
