Bit of a mis-understanding here, it is about downloads, not uploads.
For example:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/test.bin count=50000 bs=10240
Put test.bin as an attachment in a coucdb database
Run
for i in {0..50};do curl http://localhost:5984/[test
database]/[doc_id]/test.bin > /dev/null 2>&1 & done
This will create 50 curl processes which download from your couchdb.
Looking at the memory consumption of couchdb, it seems like it is
loading large parts of the file into memory.
Bram
what is the exact memory usage ?
The process appears to grow by approximately the attachment size, per
client connection implying that the entire attachment is being
buffered before being sent to the client.
I've raised this as an issue:
