Just checking - are there any issues with scavenging while EventStore is running

EventStoreDB

Basically, should we stop people publishing/reading from EventStore while we scavenge?

Thanks

no its designed so you can scavenge independently.

No. You can scavenge during normal operation.

I should add that if you are under heavy writing load you might want to scavenge at times when you are under less laod as scavenging can cause write amplification.
