merge

./bdd-admin.sh dgraph-admin merge [merge policy] <hostname> merges update generations in the index.

Note: In a Dgraph cluster, this command is routed to and processed by the leader node.

The merge policy argument is optional. If you provide one, the script forces the merge with the specified policy. If you omit it, the script forces the merge using the current policy. The following merge policies are supported:

balanced
aggressive

If you specify a merge policy, the script returns the following message:

[Manager] Force merge the Dgraph index using <merge policy> policy on <leader node>...Success

If you don't specify a merge policy, the script returns the following message:

[Manager] Force merge the Dgraph index on <leader node>…Success
