We have deployed couch in an environment that requires daily shutdowns of the machine, which means couch is also restarting frequently. What we are observing is that couch seems to need to reindex our views every time it restarts itself. This is not the case for all design docs, but is for some of them (and frequently, it seems, the larger ones). Looking at the log file, couch seems to be reindexing/checkpointing these design docs from the very beginning. As our databases grow, this has become a larger and larger issue as the reindexing can churn for almost 30 minutes before the system becomes usable. Once the indices are built everything is fine until couch shuts down again.
How can we prevent this from happening? We are running couch 1.0.0 with delayed_commits=false on Ubuntu 10.04. Our hardware is a fit-PC2. thanks, Cory
