Make "Too long with insufficient activity on 127.0.0.1:8423, shutting down" error sound less scary.

This output message is alarming and confusing:

https://github.com/couchbaselabs/cbfs/blob/master/frames.go#L87

What is port 8423 used for?

Is this normal to see this message? If so, can it be changed to be less alarming sounding? I see this and I feel like my whole cbfs cluster is unhealthy and being shut down.

I juste have the same output message. Anyone knows why ?

+1, why hasn't couchbase gotten back to us about this? It's been over a month..

I work for couchbase, so I can provide some insight -- cbfs is not yet an official product supported by the company, and is just supported on a "best effort" basis. To make matters work, the primary creator of cbfs (Dustin Sallings) is no longer at couchbase, and the other core contributor (Mary Schoch) is totally slammed with other projects such bleve -- check the stats on that github project, and you can see why he doesn't have much time for cbfs.

The good news is that I'm using cbfs heavily for a project, and I'm proficient in Go, so I'm happy to step up as the current maintainer in the interim. I'm also pushing hard within the company to make this an officially supported product, but no promises there.

Having said all that, I'm 99% sure you can safely ignore the "Too long with insufficient activity on" error. I believe it's just closing down resources that it considers as being unused.

However, I do think the message could be clearer, so I've labeled it as an enhancement to improve the wording.

@jaytaylor Also, anything you provide me about your use case might be useful for me in terms of helping to gather force to make cbfs an official product. If you can't talk about it publicly, my email is linked on my github profile. (ditto @menren)
