title: How the Berkley DB compaction works?
body: <p>I went through multiple article on Berkley DB to understand BDB partition but couldn't find the relevant article for this.</p>
  <p>Is it possible to partition the size of a BDB?
  e.g., if I have a BDB of size 100GB and I want to create two BDBs of 50GB+ each. Can I achieve this with any method.</p>
  <p>BDB compaction can only help in shrinking the size for unused disk space leftover after delete/update operation. But that doesn't guarantee that we can partition the BDB size.</p>
