#2224: Support MySQL partitioning
------------------------+----------------------
Reporter:  dustin       |      Owner:
    Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
Priority:  major        |  Milestone:  0.9.+
 Version:  0.8.2        |   Keywords:  database
------------------------+----------------------
 A big Buildbot install dumps massive amounts of data into the DB, and its
 "normal" pruning process is just DELETE statements, which don't
 necessarily free up space, and at any rate can leave tables badly
 fragmented.

 A DBA will tell you that the fix is to partition the data by time, and
 simply drop partitions when they are no longer needed.  No fragmentation,
 no delays on pruning, no muss, no fuss.

 I think that this is *primarily* something that would be done by a skilled
 DBA without modification of Buildbot itself, but let's figure out if
 Buildbot can make this easier or if there are other modifications that
 could help.
