Filipe Manana closed COUCHDB-852. --------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed This is a Windows Erlang OTP bug. A fix (patch) for this issue was already submitted to the Erlang OTP team by Juhani Ränkimies: See this thread: http://erlang.2086793.n4.nabble.com/Fix-appending-to-large-files-gt-4GB-on-Windows-td2829384.html You might want to grab a Windows installer maintained by Juhani: http://github.com/juranki/couchdb/downloads > CouchDB Windows - View building crashing fatally, unable to resume view > building > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-852 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-852 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Database Core, JavaScript View Server > Affects Versions: 1.0 > Environment: Windows 7 - 32bit - Erlang R14A (erts-5.8) [source] > [smp:4:4] [rq:4] [async-threads:0] > Reporter: Lim Yue Chuan > Attachments: couchdb.7z, erl_crash.7z > > > I have a DB with about 270,000 documents, inserted via a ruby script. > Documents inserted fine, I get a working list of documents in the _all_docs > view, can open an individual document up, etc. > Tried to generate the appropriate views for the database by hitting a doc via > futon, memory size/cpu usage stayed sane (35mb, 5-40% on a i5-750) for the > first 180k documents. Then ballooned up to over 800mb and the view build > eventually dies. > [info] [<0.151.0>] checkpointing view update at seq 181904 for gsc_lt2 > _design/mip > Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump > eheap_alloc: Cannot allocate 373662860 bytes of memory (of type "old_heap"). > (Crash log for the couch/io installer, Mark Hammond's installer dies with a > similar error message, but eheap_alloc reports "of type "heap"" instead) > At which point CouchDB completely dies (expected, just mentioning it) > Restarting CouchDB and trying to resume the view build fails fatally as well, > with CouchDB reporting enomem errors in mochiweb. At this point, the already > built view indexes appear to be totally unusable, I am unable to > clean/compact the views, and I cannot find any way of restarting the build > process other then by deleting the file holding the view (the md5sum-named > file). > Tested on two different harddisks, using both Windows installers (Mark > Hammond + couch.io). Also further tested on request of benoitc on a vmware > instance running ubuntu (NOT able to replicate the issue, view generation > completes fine on the linux VM). Seems to be a Windows issue. VM instance had > 1GB allocated to it, Machine has 4gb of RAM. Disk space on both tested > harddisks remained > 20GB free at all times. > For comparison purposes, memory usage on VM was stable at 5% of system RAM > (5% of 1GB) throughout the entire view generation. > The appropriate crash logs are: > erl_crash.7z - for the first crash. > couchdb.7z - containing two files: > couch - start-firstcrash.log - CouchDB log files from startup, through view > generation, till the first crash > couch - start-secondcrash.log - CouchDB log files from startup, through > view generation + first crash, then requerying views, till second (mochiweb) > crash. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
