Transaction Failure: BATsubselect: invalid argument: b must have a dense head
by Tim Burress 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

Hello, I've been using MonetDB for a couple of weeks now with no problems, but today ran into this issue when doing a series of DELETE/INSERT commands to update a table. When I issue the commands individually (autocommit on), there doesn't seem to be any difficulty, but when I do them as part of a transaction, I get this error on the second insert: START TRANSACTION; DELETE... 1 affected rows (10.145ms) INSERT... 1 affected rows (11.464ms) DELETE... 1 affected rows (3.402ms) INSERT... GDK reported error. BATsubselect: invalid argument: b must have a dense head I'm not sure what this means or what to do about it. Similar transactions were done yesterday with no problem, so I thought perhaps the table had been corrupted, but if I drop the table and recreate it from the original data, the above error still occurs. Thanks for any help you can provide, and if there is anything I can do that would give you some hints about what's happening, just tell me what to do and I'll be happy to help. Tim

Hi, One executing the MAL script http://pastebin.com/VUPbhD8V , I get the following errors: !TypeException:user.s0_11[87]:'algebra.join' undefined in: (X_150:any, r1_280:any) := algebra.join(X_137:bat[:oid,:oid], X_149:bat[:oid,:any]) !TypeException:user.s0_11[88]:'algebra.leftfetchjoin' undefined in: X_152:any := algebra.leftfetchjoin(r1_280:any, X_138:bat[:oid,:oid]) !TypeException:user.s0_11[94]:'algebra.join' undefined in: (X_161:any, r1_304:any) := algebra.join(X_152:any, X_160:bat[:oid,:any]) !TypeException:user.s0_11[95]:'algebra.leftfetchjoin' undefined in: X_404:any := algebra.leftfetchjoin(X_150:any, X_135:bat[:oid,:oid]) !TypeException:user.s0_11[100]:'algebra.leftfetchjoinPath' undefined in: X_174:bat[:oid,:int] := algebra.leftfetchjoinPath(X_161:any, X_404:any, X_173:bat[:oid,:any]) !TypeException:user.s0_11[106]:'algebra.leftfetchjoin' undefined in: X_183:any := algebra.leftfetchjoin(r1_304:any, X_182:bat[:oid,:any]) !TypeException:user.s0_11[107]:'algebra.join' undefined in: (X_184:any, r1_343:any) := algebra.join(X_183:any, X_107:bat[:oid,:int]) !TypeException:user.s0_11[109]:'algebra.leftfetchjoin' undefined in: X_187:any := algebra.leftfetchjoin(X_186:bat[:oid,:oid], X_183:any) !TypeException:user.s0_11[110]:'group.subgroupdone' undefined in: (X_188:any, r1_349:any, r2_349:any) := group.subgroupdone(X_187:any) !TypeException:user.s0_11[111]:'algebra.leftfetchjoin' undefined in: X_191:any := algebra.leftfetchjoin(r1_349:any, X_187:any) !TypeException:user.s0_11[113]:'algebra.leftfetchjoinPath' undefined in: X_195:bat[:oid,:lng] := algebra.leftfetchjoinPath(X_186:bat[:oid,:oid], r1_304:any, X_194:bat[:oid,:any]) !TypeException:user.s0_11[114]:'aggr.submin' undefined in: X_196:bat[:oid,:lng] := aggr.submin(X_195:bat[:oid,:lng], X_188:any, r1_349:any, _201:bit) !TypeException:user.s0_11[119]:'algebra.leftfetchjoin' undefined in: X_202:any := algebra.leftfetchjoin(r1_389:bat[:oid,:oid], X_191:any) !TypeException:user.main[2]:'user.s0_11' undefined in: _4:any := user.s0_11() The equivalent SQL query works fine but I am interested in running MAL script via mserver5. How can I resolve the above exceptions please? Thanks.

Hello Martin, Thanks for the useful tip. On cross checking the trace statements of both inner and left join queries, found out that most of the time taken by the left join query is spent at the following stage. This instance has happened for at least 20 times and each is around 40-60 seconds long while executing a single left/right join query. <<<-------- start quote - sample trace left join query --------->>> 45983604 | X_2138=<tmp_14607>[64851] := bat.append(X_2128=<tmp_14607>:bat[:oid,:str][64851],X_2137=<tmp_14544>:bat[:oid,:str][64851],true); 46443428 | X_3402=<tmp_6631>[64851] := bat.append(X_3390=<tmp_6631>:bat[:oid,:str][64851],X_3401=<tmp_20102>:bat[:oid,:str][64851],true); 53520133 | X_1820=<tmp_12102>[64851] := bat.append(X_1808=<tmp_12102>:bat[:oid,:str][64851],X_1819=<tmp_10437>:bat[:oid,:str][64851],true); 64750174 | X_1864=<tmp_12404>[64851] := bat.append(X_1854=<tmp_12404>:bat[:oid,:str][64851],X_1863=<tmp_21302>:bat[:oid,:str][64851],true); <<<-------- end quote - sample trace left join query --------->>> To my understanding, I think the discrepancy is because of the different approaches on deltas in executing both the queries. Not sure if I'm right. I would also like to know if this large left/inner join discrepancy is a default Monet behaviour or this is just because of some ignorant mistake/misconfigurations of mine (considering my heavy data load).

Group by and select distinct
by Vijay Krishna 09 Oct '14

Hi, The output of "*select * from table group by col1*" and "*select distinct(col1) from table*" appear to be *same*. But in SQL, group by returns all columns and distinct retrieves only that column values over which the function is ran. Is there any way to retrieve non duplicate rows based on a single column (similar to group by in SQL) in MonetDB? Thanks in advance. With Regards, Vijayakrishna.P. Mobile : 9500402305.

Left/Right joins performance - Need help!!
by Vijay Krishna 08 Oct '14

Hi all, I have been comparing MySQL with MonetDB. Obviously, queries that took minutes in MySQL got executed in a matter of few seconds in Monet. However, I found a real blockade with joins. I have 2 tables - each with 150 columns. Among these (150+150) columns, around 60 are CHARACTER LARGE OBJECT type. Both the tables are populated with around 50,000 rows - with data in all the 150 columns. The average length of data in a CLOB type column is 9,000 (varying from 2 characters to 20,000 characters). The primary key of both the tables have same values and the join is always based on the primary key. The rows are by default inserted in ascending order on the primary key. When I ran *an inner join query on these two tables with about 5 criteria and with limit 1000, Monet processed this query in 5 seconds*, which is completely impressive compared to MySQL's (19 seconds). But when I ran *the same query with same criteria and limits using a left or right joins, Monet took around 5 minutes, which is clearly way behind MySQL's (just 22 seconds)*. Having read a lot about Monet's blinding speed compared to traditional relation row based DBs, I could feel that I am missing something, but couldn't figure out what. Can anyone please tell me why there is such a huge difference in such query execution time and how I can prevent it? Much grateful to have any help. Thanks a lot in advance. P.S.: I am running Monet on Macbook Pro - 2.3 GHz Core i7 - Quad core processor with 8 GB RAM. With Regards, Vijayakrishna.P. Mobile : +91-9500402305.
