Dan Everton commented on COUCHDB-1129:
--------------------------------------
The database is mostly write only with occasional hits to a view. During
compaction the view will be requested a few times but always closed immediately
after. So there should be nothing holding the view open.
I'm trying to get a 1.1.1 build going but we're stuck on RHEL5 and it seems
CouchDB no longer builds on that. Possibly something to do with the
Spidermonkey 1.8.5 changes but I'm still investigating.

> Key: COUCHDB-1129
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1129
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Database Core
> Affects Versions: 1.0.2
> Reporter: Randall Leeds
> Fix For: 1.2
>
>
> It seems there are still cases where file descriptors are not released upon
> compaction finishing.
> When I asked on IRC rnewson confirmed he'd seen the behavior also and the
> last comment on 926 also suggests there are still times where this occurs.
> Someone needs to take a careful eye to any race conditions we might have
> between opening the file and subscribing to the compaction notification.
