Alexander Shorin created COUCHDB-1638:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: Memory overwhelming usage on attachment uploading when disk space ran
out
Key: COUCHDB-1638
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1638
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Alexander Shorin
Uploading attachment that is bigger than disk space that left for CouchDB data causes unstoppable
memory consuming. For document updating in this case he just silently fails with {{badmatch,{error,enospc}}
in logs.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Simulate small disk. I've done it with next commands:
mkdir /var/lib/couchdb/sandbox
chown couchdb /var/lib/couchdb/sandbox
mount -t tmpfs -o size=20m tmpfs /var/lib/couchdb/sandbox
2. Create database with name e.g. sandbox/deadman
3. Create new document and upload attachment with size >=20MB
4. watch free and get ready to kill CouchDB
As for me CouchDB may easily consume 8GB RAM and 3GB of swap for described above conditions.
Expected behaviour: not so fatal.
