--purgeZombies riak tends to create zombie entries sometimes. so documents that do not exist anymore but their key still shows up in the key listing. with this option set every single key will be loaded and if it cannot be found it will be purged. if this mode is activated keys present will not be deleted anymore. the regex selects the keys to check for zombies (default: false)
