Description

Mike Leddy recently reported this issue in the users mailing list:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-user/201109.mbox/[e-mail]%3E

The attached patch is the simplest solution I can think of - keeping the database open until the view compaction finishes.
The patch includes a test case.

It will need to be updated after Paul's view index refactoring (COUCHDB-1270).
