So it just happened again and in the logs I see the following:
[Thu, 01 Oct 2015 17:55:01 GMT] [info] [<0.191.0>] Starting index update for 
db: desktopnotification idx: _design/deskto
pnotification
[Thu, 01 Oct 2015 17:55:01 GMT] [info] [<0.191.0>] Index update finished for 
db: desktopnotification idx: _design/deskto
Pnotification

The indexer through shows it started on 2015-10-1 10:55:03 and has made no 
progress.
17:55:01 GMT is 10:55:01 PST 

We are running these on aws.

We are on 1.6.1
I think this is the erland version R14B04 We are unable to produce the problem 
at will. Can you clarify what would constitute a minimal environment?

Hi,

I'm not sure, but I think the root of evil is somewhere near here:

[Mon, 28 Sep 2015 12:11:31 GMT] [debug] [<0.86.0>] New task status for
<0.13964.26>: [{changes_done,2},
                                                      {database,

<<"desktopnotification">>},
                                                      {design_document,

<<"_design/desktopnotification">>},
                                                      {progress,200},
                                                      {started_on,1443442291},
                                                      {total_changes,1},
                                                      {type,indexer},
                                                      {updated_on,1443442291}]


Note that progress is 200, while it cannot go beyond 100. So it seems like 
there is a bug. At least this looks quite suspicious.

Few more questions:
- What's your CouchDB and Erlang versions?
- Can you try to upgrade to latest CouchDB release 1.6.1 and see if it still 
happens?
- Can you provide minimal environment to reproduce the issue?
