#175 closed defect (fixed)
xapian-compact functionality should be available from the C++ API

Description (last modified by )
The ability to merge and compact databases efficiently would be a useful addition to the C++ API (and the language bindings), so it would be good to move most of the implementation xapian-compact into the core, and change xapian-compact to just be a simple interface to this.
The first step is probably to refactor xapian-compact, such that it's not mainly a single massive function: I've made a start on this, and the patch will be attached to this bug shortly.
I'm happy to work on this, and don't think it's very much work, but Olly says that there are a few outstanding issues he needs to fix in xapian-compact, so I'll leave this bug assigned to him until then.

It would also be useful to be able to check databases from the C++ API and language bindings (ie, to bring the implementation of xapian-check into the core).

Whatever this API looks like should provide a way for the user to plug in their own algorithm for merging user meta data (since only they know what it means!)

Working on this currently.
The main missing pieces are what to do about progress output, and merging user metadata.
Removing block on #238, as we already have xapian-compact tests.
