[JCBC-181] Misleading exception when replica server not found

Duplicate — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:00:19 -0600

If the number of Couchbase servers is not enough to provide the required number of replicas (e.g. when installing a stand-alone server and forgetting to uncheck the 'Enable replicas' option), observe throws an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. An exception with a more descriptive name would indicate the error cause more clearly.

An example stack trace:
