File descriptor leaks on design document update and view cleanup
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-1309
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1309
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Filipe Manana
Assignee: Filipe Manana
If we add a design document with views defined in it, open the corresponding
view group (by querying one of its views for e.g.), then update the design
document in such a way that the view signature changes (changing a view's map
function code for e.g), the old view group remains open forever (unless a
server restart happens) and keeps it's view file reference counter active
forever.
If a view cleanup request comes, the old view file is not deleted since the
reference counter is not dropped by the old view group, keeping the file
descriptor in use forever.
This leakage is different from what is reported in COUCHDB-1129 but it's
somehow related.
The attached patch, simply shutdowns a view group when the design document is
updated and the new view signature changes, releasing the old view file
descriptor (as soon as no more clients are using the old view).
