Scrubbing parameters for replicas

When a command makes a change to a replica, an entry is recorded in the replica’s operation log. Also, when you export an update packet, an export_sync record is created for each target replica. These records are used by the recoverpacket command to reset a replica’s epoch number matrix.

For more information about this mechanism, see The operation log.

You can scrub oplog entries and export_sync records to reclaim disk space and database records, but you must keep them long enough to ensure that you can recover from replica failures and packet losses.
