There are situations where pruning of the data could take more than a few seconds and that might make the whole subsystem unreponsive. To avoid this just move the prune process on a separate thread.

See: #7237, for more details.

nit: I'd also add a debug! log here to know when pruning starts and ends. It would be nice to have when debugging.

Looks good, but I would like to see a Versi burn-in to make sure it doesn't break anything. Although I don't see why it would.

Let’s burn it in and observe the pruning log and column usage. I also agree that this cannot break anything.

Yeah, makes sense, I'll let you know once I have the results.

nit: It would be simpler for this not to be a tuple, and it would save two lines. 😛

you mean just to have two separate params pruning_result_tx and pruning_result_rx ?

Yep. Just a style nit, feel free to ignore if you want.

I will keep it as it is than :) , since I think it makes sense to try to have closely related params in the same data structure.

There are situations where pruning of the data could take more than a few
seconds and that might make the whole subsystem unreponsive. To avoid this just
move the prune process on a separate thread.

See: paritytech#7237, for more details.

Ran this in versi for more than 24h, pruning was starting and stopping as expected. Looking at the data for database usage on col0 which is what av-store is using we can see the memory usage remains constant even with this PR.

So, I'm going to go ahead and merge this PR.
