Exceptions in CouchDB river for _design docs

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I just noticed that there are some exceptions while indexing couchdb
design docs (created with couchapp).

The couchapp generated design docs are pretty complex. So, maybe there
is a parse failure or in trying to determine the mapping.

I don't have access to my setup now, but IIRC the steps are:

  • create an app using couchapp and push it to couchdb
    $ couchapp generate my_app
    $ cd my_app
    $ couchapp push . default

  • Configure the couch river plugin (without any filter).

  • The _design/my_app document generates an error.

I will check this again in detail tomorrow and update the list.

If you can, it would be great. I am not couchdb expert (actually, the first
time I started it was to implement the river :wink: ). So, I need help from
people who use couchdb to iron things out. If you can provide more
information on the failure, then I can track it down. You mentioned in the
wiki the design doc problem, is there a way that it can be detected that its
a design document, so it won't be indexed?

Neither am I :slight_smile:

I noticed that this was happening for design docs with a lot map
reduce functions and filters. The exception I was getting was:

[0]: index [abcd], type [pqrs], id [_design/abcd], message
[ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException[10]]

As discussed in the other thread, '_design/*' can be used for
filtering out design docs.

Also, with the patch in Issue #406, this problem will not happen anymore.
