Well, hmmm .... fixing the counters so that /_restart actually restarts the counters was easy enough, but now I've discovered another bug. The part of the stats test that fails is couchdb.open_databases.max < 5 Let's review. There are two types of counters in the stats module: absolute and incremental. For incremental counters, the mean/min/max/ stddev calculations measure the *rate of change* of the counter. The open_databases counter is an incremental one, so couchdb.open_databases.max measures the rate of DB creation, not the largest number of open DBs! I think the test should simply be couchdb.open_databases.current < 5 I also think this was a reason why the test suite was only failing intermittently -- it really depended on how quickly Couch could create new files. We should review the tests for other cases like this at some point. I'm cleaning my edits up now and will check stuff in shortly.
