> I have a database which will crash CouchDB if I try to compact it. It causes
> beam.smp to use all the memory on the server. I caught it in the act one
> time and sorted the Erlang processes by memory usage. The process spawned to
> do the compaction turned out to be the culprit. I took a backtrace of the
> process and found that it was mapping a very large revision tree. I have
> reason to believe that the document has a large number (~1000s) of edit
> conflicts.
> I think part of the problem may be that the recursion in
> couch_key_tree:map_simple requires each stack space for every iteration. I'm
> not sure if it's possible to rewrite the algorithm in a more memory-friendly
> way given the current tree structure.
