We've recently seen a significant spike in memory utilization on our search heads ... Looking at the files opened by mongod I'm seeing info like this:

-rw------- 1 root root 536608768 Sep 19 23:31 s_SA-AccyUyi@longstring@.9 

Any idea why there are so many versions of some of these? ... shouldn't there typically only be a ".0" and a ".ns" file for each collection?

 

Thank you
