I have upgraded couchdb to 1.0.2 and it still seems to be very very slow.   Did I mention very slow?  :/   We have less than 100 nodes (in chef) and about 50 cookbooks and 20 or so roles.   Very little is applied to the nodes at this time.   If I click on Status in the webui, it take 3-5 minutes or longer to return a status.

 

The server is a VM with 2 vCPU’s and 4 GB RAM.   It is not starved for virtual resources..     I do notice 60% paging when attempting to reindex with knife index rebuild.    I also receive timeouts during the index rebuild with a message trying again.  This eventually times out completely and fails.

 

ERROR: Timeout connecting to myserver.myco.org:4000 for //search/reindex, retry 1/5

….

ERROR: Timeout connecting to myserver.myco.org.org:4000 for //search/reindex, retry 3/5

ERROR: Failed to authenticate to http:// myserver.myco.org:4000 as myself with key /home/myself/.chef/myself.pem

Response:  Failed to authenticate. Please synchronize the clock on your client

 

The chef server and knife client are on the same host.

 

It is unusable in its current state.

 

Any ideas?

Yes,

However, I could not find a couchdb 1.0.x from a trusted source for
CentOS 5.x.    We have built a new server (CentOS 6 and couchdb 1.0.2)
but do not have time to migrate right now.    If anyone knows where I
can find couchdb 1.0.x for CentOS 5.x that is from a reputable source, I
am all for it.

A few weeks ago, I cloned the server (VM) and downloaded a couchdb rpm
and tested that I could in fact just upgrade couchdb and it worked.  But
again, I need a reputable source.

Thanks

There's a rpm available for 1.0.1, I don't think it's in centos or epel.
You should be able to get it via rpmfind.  I agree with ian, you should
ipgrade
