Hello all, I am looking for some guidance on how I can eliminate an error I am seeing when trying to access views, and help with getting through indexing a large design document.
Yesterday I upgraded to a trunk install of CouchDB (0.11.0b) in an attempt to resolve my second problem (see below). I have a DB that currently has about 16 million records in it and I am in the midst of importing more up to a total of about 26 million. Yesterday when I would try to access one of my map/reduce views I would see the indexing process kick off in the Futon status page and I would see the couchjs process in 'top'. But today, if I try to access any view I see the following error from CouchDB within about 3 seconds from requesting any view: http://pastie.org/640511 The first few lines of it are: Error: timeout{gen_server,call, [couch_view, {get_group_server,<<"searchlight_production">>, {group, <<95,25,15,251,46,213,137,116,110,135,150,210,66,56,105,172>>, nil,nil,<<"_design/SearchDocument">>,<<"javascript">>,[], [{view,0, I have tried without success restarting the CouchDB several times. Any thoughts as to what might be happening here and how I might prevent it? Related to this is my second problem. Whenever I have tried to index a view of this large DB the indexing process seems to silently die out after a while and it never get through indexing the whole DB. I have seen it get through 10's of thousands up to a few million docs before dying (out of millions). Questions: - Is there a recommended method to figure out what is happening in the internals of the indexing that may be causing it to fail? - If indexing fails before having gone through the entire result set at least once does it continue where it left off at the last crash? Or does it need to start the whole indexing process over from scratch? - How can I best ensure that my large DB gets fully indexed? Thank you for the help.
