Our systems has around 900,000 rows in the authority.record_entry table which seems extremely high. Thee contain French equivalent records which are not needed by our library. I wonder if there is a good way to munge those records out of the system and  if there is a way to differentiate the French and English subject authority records? Is there some kind of indicator in the marc fiields?

Rather than leaping to a solution for a problem that has no description
beyond "isn't quite working well yet", could you file a bug or bugs
describing what symptoms you're experiencing? Info like the exact
version of Evergreen you're running, and whether you have reingested the
authority records after migrating to 2.0, would be helpful elements of
these bug reports.

(As an aside, 008/08 = 'f' indicates that the language of the catalogue
is 'French', and field 700 ind2 = 'f' is an indication that the thesaurus
is Répertoire de vedettes-matière (RVM)).
