The crash was caused by missing exception handling in CcdbDatabase.cxx when we receive something else than expected json as
boost::property_tree::read_jsonthrows an exception in case it fails.This fix was tested on staging. I also tried to create some unit test that catches this, but I wasn't really succesfull is it is not that easy to make ccdb able to initiate but make unresponsive automatically, which is why it took so long to create PR.
