Diagnosing Intermittent N1QL Latency Spikes in Couchbase with Global Secondary Indexes
Learn how to spot, diagnose, and fix periodic p99 query latency spikes in Couchbase clusters when GSI indexes are involved.
Choosing Between Deferred and Immediate Index Builds for Rollback Safety
Goal: Safe Rollback After Schema Change When applying a schema change via N1QL index updates in Couchbase, the objective is to allow a rollback to the previous index version without causing query downtime or excessive resource spikes. The two documented approaches are to create the replacement index with the WITH deferred clause and later trigger a BUILD IND
GSI index partitioning changes in Couchbase Server 7.x: concurrent N1QL latency when partition count exceeds Index node cores
Affected feature Global Secondary Index partitioning for N1QL query execution on Couchbase Server 7.x. Precise goal Identify whether a documented partition-count configuration change, rather than a general cluster resource issue, explains latency that appears only when many concurrent N1QL SELECT statements hit the same bucket and index.
