Same problem.

What version of Dgraph are you using?

Dgraph version : v1.2.2
Dgraph SHA-256 : 86e27921d3a53dbc4faba78e9c7d7879ce8bafd6006c9fd4b77220535b8ae1c2
Commit SHA-1 : 21cc893
Commit timestamp : 2020-03-19 12:13:11 -0700
Branch : HEAD
Go version : go1.13.5

Have you tried reproducing the issue with the latest release?

Only with latest 1.X version

What is the hardware spec (RAM, OS)?

128G mem & 1.8T SSD

Steps to reproduce the issue (command/config used to run Dgraph).

Move data with “/moveTablet?tablet=name&group=2”, and the w directory of group 2 master alpha node becomes very big.

Expected behaviour and actual result.

After restarting the alpha node, cluster is block and the log is as followings. The cluster becomes avariable after serveral hours's replay and is block again if I restart the alpha node.

Wait for your help, thank you!!!

The value log should be cleared up automatically by the GC. We run GC for w and p directory periodically https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/blob/21cc8936de30df433f6ccf01f8eaf1415fc0b391/worker/server_state.go#L195

One possibly could be that there's not enough stale data for GC to reclaim space. The badger GC (which Dgraph uses) performs sampling on the file to determine if the file has enough stale data.

@jameswangcnbj also please run badger info(https://github.com/dgraph-io/badger/blob/master/badger/cmd/info.go) command on your w directory.
