I'm not familiar with TouchDB, but I get dropped connections when using _bulk_docs when couch runs out of memory or crashes. I've had to reduce the number of docs to accommodate this problem, but adding more RAM may also help. The problem is related to the way linux over allocates RAM and the oom-killer just killing programs when the system runs out of memory.
