----------------------------------------
Could you try adding {keepalive, true} to the list in socket_options, httpd section of the
configuration?
> Server doesn't release HTTP connection when client queries a currently updating view
and times out
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: COUCHDB-1100
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1100
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.0.2
> Reporter: Pasi Eronen
>
> If a client queries a view that is currently updating (without stale=ok), and then closes
the connection after a timeout, the resources on the server side are not released (until the
view update completes).
> If the view update takes a long time, the server will eventually run out of file descriptors
(or if the file descriptor limit is very large, runs out of something else; not quite sure
what).
> Steps to reproduce the problem:
> 1) set "ulimit -n" for couchdb to 1024 (often the default). Using a much larger limit
seems to result in different behavior (possibly CouchDB runs out of some other resource before
file descriptors; not sure what).
> 2) create a database with a view and sufficient number of docs so that generating the
view from scratch takes a lot of time
> 3) query the view repeatedly with a short timeout: for example in bash:
> while true; do curl -m1 'http://127.0.0.1:5984/grande/_design/testviews/_view/byDate1?limit=1';
done
> 4) monitor the number of sockets used with e.g. "netstat -an | grep 5984 | grep CLOSE_WAIT".
This should increase all the time.
> 5) roughly when the number hits 1K, couchdb stops responding completely, and there's
large number of error messages written to the log file.
