How to clear consumed items in order to reduce data on disk ？

[yanggeorge]

I create a bigqueue, and enqueue many items, then dequeue all. But the size of bigqueue on disk will become bigger and bigger.

        String queueDir = "/Users/ym/data/bigqueue";
        String queueName = "demo";
        IBigQueue bigQueue = null;
        try {
            bigQueue = new BigQueueImpl(queueDir, queueName);


            for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
                String item = String.valueOf(i);
                bigQueue.enqueue(item.getBytes());
            }

            // dequeue some items
            for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
                String item = new String(bigQueue.dequeue());
                System.out.println(item);
            }
        } finally {
            bigQueue.close();
        }

How to release space or reduce file ?

I have tried IBigQueue.gc() , but not working . IBigQueue.removeAll() will reduce the file, but I only want to clear consumed items.

@yanggeorge Which version of Java are you using? If you are using Java 11, it might be happening because of the issue mentioned here [https://github.com/bulldog2011/bigqueue/issues/39]
