Description of problem: The installation and upgrade instructions for upgrading[1] from JBoss ON <3.2 to JBoss ON >=3.2 does not provide information on how to remove the legacy metric data from the relational database. By default, when the data migration is run as part of the upgrade, metric data is left in the database. It appears that the expectation is that the user should either provide the --delete-data command-line argument to the upgrade command to trigger the deletion of the data on successful migration of the data or manually run the data migration tool and pass the --delete-only command-line argument.

But the problem is clear. User's that do not perform this step will have their legacy data forever stored with absolutely no value and cleanup and it will continue to use many GB of database space. In some instances, this will continue to hurt database performance even though the data isn't actually getting used. Additionally, it is important to note that this only applies to upgrading from 3.1.x and earlier. I am not sure what purpose -- if any -- the data migration utilities provide during upgrades from 3.2 to later versions.
==Legacy Metric Data== Applicable for upgrading from releases prior to 3.2 (I read this as 3.1.x) to releases later than 3.2 (I read this as 3.2.x and greater). Need to specify that when data migration is run as part of an upgrade, that the user must specify the --delete-data command with the upgrade command. A user can manually run the migration tool and specify the --delete-only argument to remove the metric data.
