Adam Kocoloski commented on COUCHDB-994:
----------------------------------------
Hi Filipe, did you happen to read my long analysis of the bug earlier in this
ticket? We don't write the header in the compacted view index file before
triggering the switchover, so _any_ crash in the time before the header is
eventually written will result in a complete reset. I don't believe your patch
addresses this (though I do think it was a good thing to do in its own right).

> The database has over 9 million records. Several of the views are relatively
> dense in that they emit a key for most documents. The views are successfully
> created initially but with relatively large sizes from 20 to 95G. When
> attempting to compact them, the server will crash upon completion of the
> compaction.
> This does not occur with the released 1.0.1 version but does with the 1.0.x
> svn version. I'll attach example logs. Unfortunately they are level error and
> may not have enough information.
