I've noticed while doing some load testing, that couch can get
into a state in which queries against a view will return a 404.
The views have effectively "disappeared" even though the design
docs are still loaded and the physical view database is still on
the file system.
Naturally, this is a bummer.
Restarting couch corrects the problem. I don't have a reliable
reproducer yet. This is couch 1.0.1 on Solaris 10.
Searching on the mailing list, I see the issue has been raised
earlier this summer. Has there been any progress sorting it out?
