Pete Vander Giessen commented on COUCHDB-1357:
----------------------------------------------

We ran into a similar issue, with 1.1.1. The problem seemed to start with a log entry that looked like so:

[Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:22:48 GMT] [error] [<0.31233.1889>] Uncaught
error in HTTP request: {error,system_limit}

                                    {couch_util,drv_port,0},
                                    {couch_util,collate,3},
                                    {couch_view,less_json_ids,2},
                                    {couch_btree,drop_nodes,4},
                                    {couch_btree,stream_kp_node,8},
                                    {couch_btree,fold,4},
                                    {couch_view,fold,4}]

We had a cluster of 7 or so Windows users replicating 2 databases apiece from a "master" server running on a Red Hat box. Each user also has a separate "user" database that they use to fetch oauth credentials, so there were perhaps 16 databases in use at the time.

Next time this happens, I'll run netstat on the machine and save the output. For now, I've saved off the logs, and can provide more complete logs upon request.

> From the report at the users mailing list:
> http://s.apache.org/9OG
> Seems like after updating the password in a user doc, the user is not able to login with the new password unless Couch is restarted. Sounds like a caching issue.
> The only case of getting the cache consistent with the _users database content is if the _users database processes crash and after the crash user documents are updated. The cache daemon is ignoring the database crash.
> The following patch updates the daemon to monitor the _users database and crash (letting the supervisor restart it) if the database process crashes.
> Etap test included.
> This might be related to COUCHDB-1212.
