View query and index compaction failing on 1 node with error view_undefined

Customer upgraded their 6 node cluster from 2.2 to 2.5.1 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise and one of their views stopped working.

It appears the indexing and index compaction stopped working on 1 node out of the 6. This appeared to only affect 1 design document.
