Robert Newson updated COUCHDB-1638:
-----------------------------------
Affects Version/s: (was: 1.4)
(was: 1.3)
1.3 and 1.4 do not currently exist, so I've dropped them from 'affects'. I
assume you have a local checkout of 1.3.x or master, could you include the
commit ids instead?
> Memory overwhelming usage on attachment uploading when disk space ran out
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-1638
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1638
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Linux, no OOMKiller
> CouchDB 1.3.0a-88c52b2-git
> CouchDB 1.4.0a-4b20418-git
> Reporter: Alexander Shorin
>
> Uploading attachment that is bigger than disk space that left for CouchDB
> data causes unstoppable memory consuming. For document updating in this case
> he just silently fails with {{badmatch,{error,enospc}} in logs.
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1. Simulate small disk. I've done it with next commands:
> mkdir /var/lib/couchdb/sandbox
> chown couchdb /var/lib/couchdb/sandbox
> mount -t tmpfs -o size=20m tmpfs /var/lib/couchdb/sandbox
> 2. Create database with name e.g. sandbox/deadman
> 3. Create new document and upload attachment with size >=20MB
> 4. watch free and get ready to kill CouchDB
> As for me CouchDB may easily consume 8GB RAM and 3GB of swap for described
> above conditions.
> Expected behaviour: not so fatal.
