6.1.2 Smat Database…

We are upgrading to 6.1.2 and are looking for recommendations on cycling the smat files.   In our testing, we have found that even a smat database search with 2 weeks of data is super fast.   We were thinking maybe we wouldn’t need to cycle the smat files every day.  I wasn’t sure if the file sizes would be a factor.

Also, there are now three files for each thread with the following extensions:

.smatdb

.smatdb-shm

.smatdb-wal

Do all three files need to matched together when cycling and arching much like the .idx and the .msg files must be paired together?

Thanks…
