What's New in LTS 2023.8 / LTS 2023-HF08

Increase garbageCollectOrphanBlobs Action Bucket Size

Tune blob full GC to improve S3 scroll throughput

 More on JIRA ticket NXP-32347

Add Query Limit Parameter to Full GC Management Rest API Endpoint

You can now limit the number of blobs to be garbage collected on the Full GC Rest API

Add the queryLimit=10000 parameter to the Rest API call to invoke the Full GC on the first 10000 blobs only:

curl -X DELETE -u Administrator:Administrator http://localhost:8080/nuxeo/api/v1/management/blobs/orphaned?dryRun=true&queryLimit=10000

Full Blob GC in dryRun Should Trace Samples of Blobs to Remove

A new "nuxeo.bulk.action.garbageCollectOrphanBlobs.sample.modulo" property to trace samples of blobs to remove

While running a Full Blob GC in dryRun mode, with the following property:

nuxeo.bulk.action.garbageCollectOrphanBlobs.sample.modulo=1000

every 1000th blob deletion will be logged at WARN level with such message:

dryRun sample: GC would have deleted blob: b967e77cce9e0582af118bfb467fbab9 of size 12 bytes.

You can assert the blob can effectively be deleted in MongoDB with such a query:

db.default.count({ecm:blobKeys: b967e77cce9e0582af118bfb467fbab9})

should return 0. Assuming, the blob was referenced by the file:content document property, such a MongoDB query

db.default.count({content.data: b967e77cce9e0582af118bfb467fbab9})

should return 0.

Assuming the the file:content is used as default document content, if you want to assert that the ecm:blobKeys migration went through without mistake, the MongoDB query:

db.default.count({ecm:blobKeys: {: false}, content.data: {: true}})

should return 0.
