What causes "Service 'memcached' exited with status 137" when all was going fine?

Couchbase 6.0.0
Ejection Method full (resident ~20%)
RAM used/quota 33GB/41GB
disk used 300GB
450,000,000 items
Compression Passive
Three data nodes, two indexing nodes

I am adding items to couchbase at the rate of around 500,000 a minute. This goes fine for 8 hours or so, then I get the error below and the program that is adding items stops. No other activity is happening on the cluster I don’t start the program up again for a few hours, but when I do it runs fine for another 8 hours or so. This pattern has happened at least three times and probably 5 times on a smaller cluster. The number of items ranges from 100 million to 450 million when it happens.

This cluster is just for testing and is likely undersized, but I m not sure what the problem is since it runs file for many hours.

Each time I see these three errors (in reverse order). The time stamp is all the same.

Bucket “bucket_name” loaded on node ‘ns_1@10.3.50.210’ in 69 seconds.
