[MarkLogic Dev General] MarkLogic folder size limit

[VSedov at wiley.ru]

hi,

I have huge directory in ML with 500,000 subdirectories, my coworker ask 
me to delete this folder and  after i sent command 
xdmp:directory-delete("...") from Oxygen thru XDBC ML port i get timeout 
error and i guess that whole transaction was rolled back. Then i try to 
use partial removing (by 500 subdirectories at one time, 1000 produce 
timeout too) but removing of 500 subdirectories require about 3-4 min  (i 
guess that this time will be reduced while directory become smaller from 
time to time but still not hope to finish directory removing less then 24 
hours)

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Vyacheslav

p.s. here code that i use now - is something wrong here?

declare namespace prop="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/property"

xdmp:set-response-content-type("text/xml"),
let $dir := "/cochrane/2/clcentral/"

let $files := for $f at $i in  xdmp:directory-properties($dir, "1")//
prop:directory
 where $i <= 500
return (element file  fn:base-uri($f) , xdmp:directory-delete(fn:base-uri(
$f)) )

return ( "<?xml version=""1.0""?>",
"<?xml-stylesheet type=""text/xml"" href=""refresh.xsl""?>",
element root $files
)
