Abstract: A determination is made as to whether a workload associated with a collection of data items satisfies a first condition. If the first condition is satisfied, a determination is made as to whether a metric of dirty records to which delete operations have been directed within a portion of a data item satisfies a second condition. If the second condition is also satisfied, a cleanup operation may be initiated so that data blocks storing the portion of the data item do not include the deleted record.
