iilyak opened a new issue #1715: Broken pipe errors from TravisCI
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1715
 
 
   ## Expected Behavior
   
   When we do a push of previously tested code we expect the CI to pass.
   
   ## Current Behavior
   
   TravisCI fails on the test suite stage. Logs reveal errors like the 
following:
   - `Error writing to pipe: Broken pipe`
   - `erl_child_setup: failed with error 32 on line 253` - error 32 is "Broken 
pipe"
   
   ## Possible Solution
   
   Broken pipe is usually resource exhaustion however it seems to be a known 
problem for container based environments.
   - increase ulimit for travis instances (if possible)
   - one tread on internet recommends switching to full virtualization to fix 
the issue
   
   ## Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
   
   1. create branch of master `git checkout master && git checkout -b test-ci`
   2. push it to `github.com/apache/couchdb`
   3. try few times watching for failed TravisCI builds
   
   ## Context
   
   1. The issue prevents us from merging PRs
   2. The presence of the issue decrease our confidence in the CI
   3. We have to spent time trying multiple times
   4. It adds additional burden for the reviewer to check logs to make sure the 
failure is an exhaustion issue.
