Eli Stevens updated COUCHDB-1817:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
Updated description:

When a large document is uploaded (in this case 45MB of JSON), if the couchjs 
process runs out of stack, the error message that gets produced does not make 
it easy to debug what is going wrong.


We have started seeing errors crop up in our application that we have not seen 
before, and we're at a loss for how to start debugging it.

[~dch] Said that we might look into system resource limits, so we started 
collecting all of the output from _stats into RRD (along with memory, load, 
etc. that we were already collecting), but nothing is jumping out at us as 
obviously problematic.

We can semi-reliably reproduce the problem, but it's far from a minimal test 
case (basically, we load up several large chunks of data, and then halfway 
through the processing run, we get the error).  The error doesn't seem to 
happen if we load up each chunk by itself.

The DB in question has about 100 docs in it, none particularly large (nothing 
over a couple KB would be my guess), with a couple hundred MB in attachments.  
10ish design docs, coffeescript.  In general, there isn't anything that seems 
obviously resource intensive.

We have seen this issue on 1.2.0, 1.2.1, and we're working on getting a machine 
with 1.3.0 set up (the PPA we'd been using hasn't been updated yet).  Ubuntu 
12.04, spinning disk, etc.  The system is under load when it happens, but the 
load isn't more than 1.5x the number of cores.  I don't have disk IO numbers at 
hand, but I'd be surprised if that was being strained.

Error as it appears in couch.log: 
https://gist.github.com/wickedgrey/e7fd3fc14b6d43e95564

The design doc in question: 
https://gist.github.com/wickedgrey/db41b0c3c75a590e2109

An example document: https://gist.github.com/wickedgrey/a8422aab261ddd2ce4fe

We have some preliminary evidence that the problem persists after the system 
goes quiet, but we're not certain.

Either CouchDB isn't handling things correctly, in which case this bug is "prz 
fix" or we're doing something wrong (hitting a resource limit, or something), 
in which case this bug is "prz make the error message more informative".

Thanks!
