Scheduled mergeout

At regular intervals set by configuration parameter MergeOutInterval, the Tuple Mover checks the mergeout request queue for pending requests:.

At regular intervals set by configuration parameter MergeOutInterval, the Tuple Mover checks the mergeout request queue for pending requests:

If the queue contains mergeout requests, the Tuple Mover does nothing and goes back to sleep.
If the queue is empty, the Tuple Mover:
- Processes pending storage location move requests.
- Checks for new unqueued purge requests and adds them to the queue.
It then goes back to sleep.

By default, this parameter is set to 600 (seconds).

Scheduled mergeout is independent of the Tuple Mover service that continuously monitors mergeout requests and executes them as needed.
