Hello @louis zhu,

I hope you are doing well. Are you still encountering an issue with a large EVENTS table? 

It reminded me of this issue, where we discuss a way to append your Synchrony tables:

• CONFSERVER-45745 Huge number of content inside Confluence causes Page Editing and Collaborative Editing to load really slow

Under Notes and Research, note the following article.

• How to reduce the size of Synchrony tables 

Please have a look at that, and see if it is able to help you reduce your table size.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
