I keep seeing this error in my logs, from a replication between two database
servers:
[Sat, 17 Nov 2012 18:16:21 GMT] [error] [<0.22441.709>] Error in replication
`ec0cd75a82ec8f2089fae72e31b29aac+continuous+create_target` (triggered by
document `replicate-to-staging`): {checkpoint_commit_failure,<<"Target database
out of sync. Try to increase max_dbs_open at the target's server.">>}
Looking at the source code around that message, my understanding is that this
will be logged when the timestamps found in the checkpoint document do not
match what should have been written or…something. (My Erlang-fu has only
atrophied since excitedly reading the Armstrong book several years ago.)
The odd thing is, the target database in this case should have plenty of
"max_dbs_open" headroom! I can't raise it further since the setting is not on
the Iris Couch whitelist, but the target system has only 31 databases total
(against the Iris Couch limit of 100). On the source side, there are 83
databases that could be open, but that's not what it's complaining about.
Replication seems to recover fine, but the dumps are clogging my logs and
making it harder to track some other (real) continuous replication issues I'm
trying to resolve. Any suggestions of what its real complaint is and how to
resolve?
thanks,
