Hello,

    I think it is reasonable to set nsds5ReplicaPurgeDelay and
    nsslapd-changelogmaxage to similar value.

    When a replica (master or consumer) is down for some time and is
    restarted, both attribute express the ability to get the replica in
    sync with the rest of the topology.
    It can work (and likely will) if
    nsds5ReplicaPurgeDelay<nsslapd-changelogmaxage but there are always
    corner cases that can lead to problem (like entries that diverge).

    Currently purgedelay=7days (default) and changelogmaxage is infinite
    and changing purgedelay=infinite impacts the size of the entries.

    thanks
    thierry
