Now, i couldn’t get any more details on this issue.Synopsis does not seem to be informative. Can anyone point me somewhere this issue is properly documented and its available fix? As of now, all i can understand is to upgrade the version and deploy any of the fixed version.

I think the only fix is to upgrade the couchbase server software version. After upgrading to 6.5.1v , the issue no longer exists.
