I have experienced multi crashes of couchdb on my chef-server. I dont know why, there is no log, no trace no indication from couchdb.
My database is around 30 GB and the server is redhat 5.5 having 3 GB physical memory.
I heard that erlang sometime kill processes dueto lack of resource or other contention, and restart them automatically. But in my case
the couchdb process (mochiweb I think) that faciliates database access via http simply dies and I have restart couchdb entirely.
But the problem from Chef side is that Chef server can not re-connect to couchdb again and I have to restart chef-server-api then chef-server-webui
Anyone is facing similar problem?

Possibly unrelated, but I'd compact that. Unless you really have a
working set of that size, or historical data about chef's state is
that valuable to you.
Which versions of CouchDB and Chef are you running? The Couch release
packaged for CentOS 5 (0.11.5, I think?) is quite ancient and known to have
such issues. If you're having this problem in a post-1.0 release, that would
be more interesting.
That said -- I've had a crashing CouchDB (pre-1.0), and no component other
than CouchDB itself has needed restart. (Further, if you use the
bootstrap-server recipe to deploy your server, Couch -- like other
components -- will be under process supervision and automatically
restarted).

+1 to this - make sure you are running a recent CouchDB, and make sure you
are doing regular compaction.
