disable WAL for plocal database

OrientDB Version: 3.2.7

Java Version: 11

OS: Mac OSx

I have a plocal database as part of a Kotlin application. I would like to disable the WAL journal but I still see the WAL file growing in the db folder.

Here is my code:

private val orientGraphFactory = OrientGraphFactory("plocal:.databases/graph-repo-$id")
            .setupPool(1, 10)
            .also {
                it.setUseLightweightEdges(true)
                val db = it.database
                db.createEdgeClass("child")
                val node = db.createVertexClass("Node")
                node.createProperty("_path", OType.STRING).createIndex(OClass.INDEX_TYPE.UNIQUE_HASH_INDEX)
                node.createProperty("_pType", OType.STRING)
            }

I tried the following:

• start the app using -Dstorage.useWAL=false
• add a call to OGlobalConfiguration.USE_WAL.setValue(false) before db init code

Am I doing anything wrong there? Is there any way to programmatically force to NOT use the WAL?

Thanks!

Start with OGlobalConfiguration.USE_WAL, the storage.useWAL system property, and the OrientGraphFactory database initialization shown in the issue. Reproduce the configuration with a plocal database and trace whether the setting reaches storage initialization; done when WAL is reliably disabled or the supported limitation is documented.
