Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-968:
-------------------------------------------
@Adam,
Gotchya. Reading the code I kept getting confused on what the semantics of
high_seq were supposed to be. I'd always assumed it was just an opaque number
so we don't get cyclic revision trees, but there appears to be more to it than
that. I was also fairly confused about how it relates to update_seq in a few
places that seemed a bit funky.
> Duplicated IDs in _all_docs

> Key: COUCHDB-968
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-968
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Database Core
> Affects Versions: 0.10.1, 0.10.2, 0.11.1, 0.11.2, 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2
> Environment: Ubuntu 10.04.
> Reporter: Sebastian Cohnen
> Priority: Blocker
>
> We have a database, which is causing serious trouble with compaction and
> replication (huge memory and cpu usage, often causing couchdb to crash b/c
> all system memory is exhausted). Yesterday we discovered that db/_all_docs is
> reporting duplicated IDs (see [1]). Until a few minutes ago we thought that
> there are only few duplicates but today I took a closer look and I found 10
> IDs which sum up to a total of 922 duplicates. Some of them have only 1
> duplicate, others have hundreds.
> Some facts about the database in question:
> * ~13k documents, with 3-5k revs each
> * all duplicated documents are in conflict (with 1 up to 14 conflicts)
> * compaction is run on a daily bases
> * several thousands updates per hour
> * multi-master setup with pull replication from each other
> * delayed_commits=false on all nodes
> * used couchdb versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.x (*)
> Unfortunately the database's contents are confidential and I'm not allowed to
> publish it.

> There were two (old) servers (1.0.0) in production (already having the
> replication and compaction issues). Then two servers (1.0.x) were added and
> replication was set up to bring them in sync with the old production servers
> since the two new servers were meant to replace the old ones (to update
> node.js application code among other things).
