Intermittent HTTP 500 errors on queries, no useful diagnostics
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: COUCHDB-394
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-394
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HTTP Interface
    Affects Versions: 0.10
         Environment: Ubuntu 8.10 on x386 on Amazon Web Services VM
            Reporter: Curt Arnold


Originally raised on u...@couchdb.apache.org on 2009-06-16, but no resolution.  
Original message follows later.

Analysis: seems like there is a failure during the call to gen_tcp:send, a 
connection dropped or something like that, however the calling code in 
mochiweb_request:send appears to discard the reason returned by gen_tcp:send 
leaving a user with no clue of the underlying problem.

Here is Mochiweb_request:send

send(Data) ->
    case gen_tcp:send(Socket, Data) of
        ok ->
            ok;
        _ ->
            exit(normal)
    end.


In the case of a non ok return from gen_tcp:send, exit(normal) is called which 
is connected with the log file in the original message.  It would seem much 
more helpful if the recent included in the return value from gen_tcp:send was 
passed to the exit/1 function.

Actually, a different function appears in the original log file.  I was looking 
at a slightly different entry in a different log file, but I think the analysis 
holds.

Different log snippet:

------

Original message:

I've been seeing HTTP 500 failures from time to time with a fairly  
recent snapshot build ("0.10.0a777361") from the SVN.  The actual keys  
have been omitted, however the queries have been working for a long  
time and the keys are valid and return the right data most of the time.

Any clues what might be happening?
