Indexer Crashing Issue with High Number of Indexes on a Single Collection

Couchbase Server

I’m aware of the 1,000 collection limit. Could you please let me know if there’s also a limit on the number of Global Secondary Indexes and FTS indexes?

I’m asking because we have around three thousand odd indexes on a single collection, and the indexer keeps crashing, causing the indexes to go into a warming-up state.

Thanks in advance

Hi akashs1701

Its difficult to say anything about the crashes just by design. We need to check what is happening in the logs.

  • Which exact minor version are you using ?
  • Are you building indexes on default collection or non default collections ?
  • What are sizes of your indexes and how many documents are indexed there ?
  • How are the resources provisioned is it sized as per indexes and expected data ?
  • How is CPU and memory being used across services and for indexer process only ?

Please do a cbcollect and attach logs for further analysis

Thanks
