Hey everyone,
I'm using couchdb to store docs that are somewhat large (20MB+), but
within the configured max size.
Storing the docs isn't a problem, couchdb seems to handle it fine. I am
having problems when using function validators and couchdb hanging my
machine after all the memory resources are consumed on PUTs.
Below is a quick explanation of the issue I'm seeing.
Ideas ?
sam
how to reproduce:
1) create a db called testdb
2) create an empty javascript validator function
function(newDoc, oldDoc, user) {}
3) create a fake 20MB doc
if=/dev/zero of=test.mp3 bs=1024 count=20000
echo "{\"hello\":\"" > test.json; echo `base64 test.mp3` >> test.json; echo
"\"}" >> test.json;
4) send it to couchdb
curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/testdb/foobar21 -d @test.json
5) open a memory/swap monitor and couchdb's binary consume all the memory
(stopping when the swap memory ends)
kubuntu's system monitor (memory tab) ||
top ||
watch free ||
6) remove the javascript validator
7) repeat (5) and see how everything is fine
expected results:
(5) shouldn't happen. couchdb shouldn't leak memory or consume more memory
than the size of the doc (20MB).
