Say you add 1 new document and make 3 updates to it. My understanding is there will be 3 revisions of the document. To avoid disk bloat, compaction will remove older document revisions.
Probably a moronic question, but why do we even need multiple document revisions? Wouldn’t it be simpler to only keep the latest revision? That way compaction isn’t needed.
Also, does Couchbase even use older document revisions? If yes, how?
