InfluxDB and restarting Journald results in sigpipe

[msteggink]

Bug report

System info: InfluxDB version influxdb-1.4.1-1.x86_64
systemd-219-30.el7_3.8.x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.3 (Maipo)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Verify influxdb is running (systemctl status influxdb)
2. Restart Journald (systemctl restart systemd-journald)
3. This may take a few minutes, but InfluxDB is then killed ( systemctl status influxdb)

Expected behavior: Keep on running

Actual behavior:

systemctl status influxdb
● influxdb.service - InfluxDB is an open-source, distributed, time series database
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/influxdb.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead) since Fri 2017-12-08 09:41:45 CET; 3min 13s ago

  Process: 4516 ExecStart=/usr/bin/influxd -config /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf $INFLUXD_OPTS (code=killed,
 Main PID: 4516 (code=killed, signal=PIPE)

Quick fix is to change the restart from on-failure to always.

Restart=always
