Limit + Skip bug in views

Couchbase Server
1

Hello,

Today I found a weird behaviour using Couchbase Server(4.1.0-5005 Enterprise Edition (build-5005) from docker) and Sync Gateway(1.2 from docker).

I created a view through Couchbase Sync Gateway to filter some data by client phone number to be used in a front-end with pagination. Everything was working fine. If I sent “limit=10&skip=10” it would skip the first 10 rows and show the next rows limiting to 10.

Today I arrived at the office and the pagination was not working.

%  http --session=test http://localhost:8092/default/_design/clients/_view/list_by_client_number\?inclusive_end\=true\&stale\=false\&connection_timeout\=60000\&limit\=10\&skip\=10
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

{"total_rows":68,"rows":[
]
}

%  http --session=test http://localhost:8092/default/_design/clients/_view/list_by_client_number\?inclusive_end\=true\&stale\=false\&connection_timeout\=60000\&limit\=10          
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: must-revalidate
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8

{"total_rows":68,"rows":[
{...},
{...},
{...},
{...},
{...},
{...},
{...},
{...},
{...},
{...}
]
}

What was happening is that the query was being limited and the using skip. So if want “limit=10&skip=10” it would return 0 rows, but if I ran “limit=20&skip=10”, it would work as “limit=10&skip=10”.

I restarted the Couchbase Server and Couchbase Sync Gateway but still having the same issue. After we recreated the view, everything was working again as expected.

Anyone else experienced something similar?

This is how we created the view:

desing.json

{
  "views":{
    "list_by_client_number": {
        "map": "function (doc, meta) { if(meta.type == 'json' && doc.client && doc.client.client_number) { var attachments = []; if (doc._attachments) { attachments = Object.keys(doc._attachments) }; emit(doc.client.client_number, {'attachments': attachments, 'media': doc.media, 'client': doc.client}); } }"
 
    }
  }
}

http PUT http://localhost:4985/default/_design/clients @design.json

Hi Rafael, Couple of clarification questions -

  • Did you see this behavior only on Docker image? Have you tested this on other machine (Linux, MAC or Windows)?
  • Can you reproduce the issue? if ‘yes’ can you collect logs using cbcollect_info and create a JIRA issue and attach logs

Thanks!
