Compacting spatial views

Description

Spatial views are not automatically compacted with data and indexes. Instead, each spatial view must be manually compacted.

HTTP method and URI


POST /[bucket_name]/_design/[ddoc_name]/_spatial/_compact

Syntax

To compact each spatial view, specify the compaction for the spatial view:

http://[localhost]:9500/[bucket_name]/_design/[ddoc_name]/_spatial/_compact
This URL contains the following information:
  • [localhost]:9500

    localhost is the IP address for the local host. The port number, 9500, is unique to the spatial indexing system.

  • bucket_name

    The name of the bucket where the design document is configured.

  • ddoc_name

    The name of the design document that contains the spatial index or indexes that you want to compact.
