Description

This can be reproduced easily with v1.7.x. It doesn't seem to exist in inmem index.

Assuming a measurement `m1` in database `db1` has many time series, run `DROP MEASUREMENT m1` in one influx session and then run `DROP DATABASE db1` in a new session, deadlock happens and both queries block.

The stack dump is attached. It's captured with v1.7.9.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the v1.7.x scenario with many time series in measurement m1: run DROP MEASUREMENT m1 and DROP DATABASE db1 concurrently in separate sessions. Review the attached stackdump.txt while both queries block; done means the concurrent operations no longer deadlock. No source file or test is identified in the report.
