This also affects how much history you keep in the default ledger store. You should consider the following when deciding what size to configure your shard store: - The ledger store (defined by the `[node_db]` stanza) is separate from the history shard store. The ledger store is required for all servers, and always contains a range of recent history, defined by how many ledgers to keep available in the `online_delete` parameter. (The default configuration stores the most recent 2000 ledgers.) - If you keep at least 215 ledgers (32768) in the ledger store, you can efficiently import chunks of recent history from the ledger store into the shard store.
