Description

I'm running repeated tests where I create multiple databases on multiple machines and then compact them all in parallel.

This almost always works but sometimes does not. Specifically, I have one machine where each .compact file is about 50% complete (I know this because I see successfully compacted versions of the same data on the other machines in my set) and this in the log;

[Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:50:23 GMT] [error] [<0.17793.28>] Uncaught error in HTTP request:

{exit,noproc}

[Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:50:26 GMT] [error] [<0.17801.28>] Uncaught error in HTTP request: {exit,noproc}

[Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:50:26 GMT] [error] [<0.17753.28>] Uncaught error in HTTP request:

{exit,noproc}

I'm not sure it's related to the compact process crash but my http client also received an error while polling _active_tasks for compaction to complete;

Waiting for compaction to complete.
