Hi Stefano,
did/do you re-create/re-load your database from scratch for each version of MonetDB you tested,
or do you access that same database (same dbfarm) using the different versions?
Please be aware that we only support database upgrades between two consecutive releases of MonetDB.
All other cases are not supported and their behavior is undefined, and might thus include
anything from the server refusing to start to "silent" corruption of the database.
Having said that, it's generally hard for us to analyze problems, let alone solve them,
without being provided detailed instructions (if necessary including data) how to reproduce them.
More over, the assertion you get with the default branch has nothing to do with not enough space;
it indicated that internally some administrative information is inconsistent --- why is hard,
if not impossible, to understand without being able to reproduce the problem.
Also, with the 'Program contains error' message of the client, their might be more detailed
information in the merovingian log or on the server console?
Best,
Stefan

Hello,
I will briefly recap the problem I have already reported a few weeks ago: I am
using monetdb default branch (I did not compile the stable version because I
need embedded python) and I have a large table (~80 GB). A simple query like
SELECT * FROM large_table WHERE field=x, fails.
mserver5 reports this error:
mserver5: gdk_select.c:867: fullscan_int: Assertion `cnt < (bn)->S.capacity'
failed.
It seems that monet thinks it doesn’t have enough space to do a full scan of the
table, maybe? (The machine has 800GB of free disk space and 30GB of RAM -
Ubuntu 14.04).
I was using a default branch of december 2015, I have tried to use the latest
default branch (4/08/16), recompiled, installed but nothing, always the same
error.
So, as suggested, I have compiled the latest stable release (Jun2016-SP1). Now
even a query which does not require monet to read the whole table (like SELECT
* FROM large_table LIMIT 10 - This query worked fine in the default branch
version) fails with ‘Program contains error’ message by client.
Selecting a single column of the table works just fine.
Moreover, with the stable release, the same issue arises with the second biggest
table of the database (~35 GB).
[Here you can find the configuration of MonetDB:
http://pastie.org/private/r8gtssg944aqwnigrysa]
All queries on all the other tables in the database (they are all much smaller
than these two) work fine. I do not understand if the issue is in the size of
table or somewhere else. How can I know what ‘error’ the message ‘program
contains errors’ is referring to?
NOTE: At the beginning, using the default compiled branch everything worked just
fine! Every query on my large_table worked as expected. Then I had to recreate
the database from scratch so I deleted the dbfarm and created a new one. That’s
when this headache started…
At this point I don’t know what to do, any help would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks,
Stefano
