I’ll see if I can get MarkLogic server upgraded—does make sense to be on the 
latest version of ML 8.

Eliot

    Hi Eliot,
    
    You could be hitting a bug in MarkLogic. It might be worth upgrading to
    8.0-7, and seeing if it still happens with that version. A lot of patches
    and performance improvements have been made since 8.0-3.2..
    
    Cheers,
    Geert
