Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-2049:
--------------------------------------------
We should add protection in couch_index/src/couch_index.erl for the case that
couch_util:with_db/2 throw the not_found error. couch_index should log that its
database has disappeared and then terminate normally. couch_index dies when an
index dies abnormally on purpose and should continue doing so.
Ignoring abnormal exits (or at least, not iterating specifically which abnormal
exits you want to ignore) is a very easy way to get the managing process into
an infinite loop attempting to start a child process that dies during
initialization.

> When you quickly start to refresh an index:
> {code}
> refresh(#db{name=DbName}, DDoc) ->
> refresh(DbName, DDoc);
> refresh(Db, DDoc) ->
> UpdateSeq = couch_util:with_db(Db, fun(WDb) ->
> couch_db:get_update_seq(WDb)
> end),
> case couch_index_server:get_index(couch_mrview_index, Db, DDoc) of
> {ok, Pid} ->
> case catch couch_index:get_state(Pid, UpdateSeq) of
> {ok, _} -> ok;
> Error -> {error, Error}
> end;
> Error ->
> {error, Error}
> end.
> {code}
> and immediately delete the database it trigger the following error:
> {code}
> [error] [<0.184.0>] Could not open file
> /Users/benoitc/refuge/couchdb/test/etap/../../test/out/data/foo.couch: no
> such file or directory
> [info] [<0.167.0>] Closing index for db: foo idx: _design/bar sig:
> "6551000fd7a75dab3f60065ce1308dbe"
> reason: {bad_return_value,{not_found,no_db_file}}
> [error] [<0.167.0>] ** Generic server <0.167.0> terminating
> ** Last message in was commit
> ** When Server state == {st,couch_mrview_index,
> {code}
> which is received by the couch_index_server and crash it.. Shouldn't the
> crash in couch_index be ignored at that point?
