Thanks David. > purging the objects and bypassing the GC is definitely the way to go Cool. > What rebalancing do you expect to see during this operation that you're trying to avoid I think I just have a poor understanding or wasn't thinking very hard :) I suppose the question really was "are there any performance implications in deleting large buckets that I should be aware of?". So, no really. Just will take a while. The actual cluster is small and balanced with free space. Buckets are not customer-facing.
