             Summary: Unmanaged file handle resource
                 Key: COUCHDB-1642
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1642
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Database Core
            Reporter: James Bowery


Attempting to use couchapp, I ran into an issue that a lot of other people have 
encountered, and that is the fact that Erlang's aggressive parallelism inside 
couchdb is not tempered by awareness of the limit on the number of file handles 
that can be allocated in the OS.  In ordinary -- serialized -- systems this 
isn't much of a problem.  Perhaps this is actually an Erlang issue but it does 
crop up in couchdb due to the potential handling of large numbers of files.
