Subject SuperServer + background + interval + sweep = thread?
Author fernnaj
Hi all,

I would like to understand the automatic sweeping in the case of a 2.5.x SuperServer, with GCPolicy=background and non-zero interval.

The policy 'background' suggests that it's a background thread - and not the query workers - that will perform the actual sweep.

So, is this also true for the automatic sweep - that it will be done in the background thread? Or is the 'unlucky' query worker that triggers the automatic sweep the one that 'suffers' and has to wait?

Thanks in advance,

Fernando
