I was very excited about the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (AU), mainly because of the new Bash on Ubuntu on Windows stuff! My experience has been generally positive, but with any major upgrade comes risk. I ran into a couple of problems. One of them was with some missing DLL files<\/a>, not related to Couchbase Server. But the other one is related to Couchbase Server<\/a>. Short story: we\u2019re aware, and we\u2019re working on it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Longer Story<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Couchbase Server uses a tool called TCMalloc, which is part of gperftools<\/a> (originally called Google Performance Tools).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Based on my limited understanding of low-level programming, somewhere in TCMalloc, there is some code being called that\u2019s not technically part of the public interface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Windows 10 Anniversary Update comes along, and suddenly that piece of code doesn\u2019t work like it\u2019s supposed to anymore. This causes the memcached portion of Couchbase to crash over and over. Whoops. Couchbase engineers are hard at work on this issue, and I would expect this to be fixed soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
