[erlang-questions] Does Mnesia table fragmentation still support in the furture version?

[tatezhou@REDACTED]

For the first issue about change_table_frag/4,  i  made a mistake . The example only invoked change_table_frag/2 not change_table_frag/4. 
I've checked the document ,  Although function change_table_frag/2 doesn't describe in document, it exported in the source code (mnesia.erl). 


The article http://www.trapexit.org/Mnesia_Table_Fragmentation is a good guide to get start mnesia table fragmentation. thanks


A special tips for chinese guys ,  http://www.trapexit.org may does not accessable in china directly , You may need a web proxy. i don't known the reason.
