Re: Constant growth in ROS containers

Hi Sharon, Thanks for the feedback. We're witnessing ROS growth across multiple projections. FYI our DB has 1147 tables, supported by 4226 projections and a total of 58550 columns. Table row counts vary, but on average we have 11 million rows per table. I have been inspecting the tuple_mover_operati...

Re: Finding projection definitions

This is a known issue in certain versions of Vertica with the export_objects command. We use export_catalog to get the entire catalog and then grab the view/projection/table definitions from there. The views table is only useful if the view definition is less than 2000 characters, we have very large...

Constant growth in ROS containers

Since upgrading from 5.0.8 to 6.1.0 and 6.1.1 we are seeing constant growth in ROS containers after a period of uptime since a DB or node restart. I confirm this by querying the projection_storage table for ros_count. Initially, ROS container volumes are maintained, but over time, my queries to the ...

Re: Why is vertica using swap space

Hi sKwa, Thanks, I should have mentioned that we've set the overcommit_memory config parameter to 0 as advised by vertica (we're running RHEL 6). Vertica themselves state: "Vertica process shouldn't use any swap space. If Vertica process starts using swap, there is a configuration issue. If Vertica ...

Why is vertica using swap space

We're witnessing growth in the swap space used by vertica processes on both a 6.1.0 and 6.1.1 cluster. We allocate just the recommended 2GB to swap, yet over time, vertica begins to consume swap until 2GB is reached. Restarting the vertica process recovers the used swap space. Is anyone else witness...

Cannot shutdown database due to session that can't close

As part of ongoing maintenance of our 3 node 6.1.0 Vertica database we had to shutdown the database. During this process we attempted to forcefully close all the sessions using the select close_all_sessions(); Unfortunately this did not close all the sessions. One remained and could not be closed di...
