Couch crash after View compaction, unresponsive for 1-2 mins, view reindexes
from scratch
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-1224
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1224
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Database Core
Affects Versions: 1.0.2
Environment: CentOS 5.6 Server, on XFS raid1 array. Running as user
couchdb. Build was 1.0.3aaf28707-git - a patched version of 1.0.2 for
COUCHDB-885
Reporter: Alex Markham
A largish couchdb database was running through its view compactions (we run 3
times a week) when it stopped responding to calls. I only realised after the
event when the logs of queries to couch showed very long response times.
The last thing in the logs is: "View index compaction complete for <View Name>"
and then a bunch of stack traces, lasting a couple of minutes.
Couch is now reindexing the whole of that <View Name> which will take hours
Perhaps because it got corrupted during the compaction?
