There have been some reportsthat compaction was causing larger memory spikes than was desirable. I dug into this and improved it for Prometheus 2.6.0, so let’s see how. Firstly I wrote a test setup that created some samples for 100k time series, in a way that would require compaction. It would be nice to get the active heap usage at its peak, however we don’t know where in the code this peak is to take a profile then.
