Hello Brandon, Thank you for your reply. I am using the Table Output step. I restarted the process many times, fresh install, fresh load, but the problem persisted. If I use mclient to load the data or copy into, I face no issues. Could this be a JDBC driver issue?

Are you using the table output step or the MonetDB bulk loader step? We experienced stability problems with MonetDB from time to time, especially when bulk loading to a MonetDB server that runs for days on end without being stopped and started again. That's in combination of dropping large tables, recreating and bulk loading or delete and reloads via bulk loading. It just seemed like the best in practice use for MonetDB was starting clean, creating tables, doing a large single load and making sure you restart the server at some point each day. Otherwise the ETL would lock up randomly or the server would stop responding to queries or annoyingly stop accepting connections from any new clients. I'm interested in what the developers suggest as a way to nail down what's happening. It's not as simple as running a command and getting the wrong result, at least in my case.

Hello Brandon, I am using COPY INTO, and it's loading the data very quickly. However, it is always reporting with this error at the end: *Incomplete record at end of file* There is nothing wrong with the CSV file as I see it, since I tried exporting random number of records each time. Any idea what might be the problem? Thank you. On Thu, Jul 24, 2014 at 8:37 AM, Brandon Jackson wrote:

First i would recommend against using the table output step because it uses normal inserts to populate data which will be extremely slow on any Column store database in general.

The bulk loader is the way to go and amazingly fast.

The JDBC driver I would check to get the latest version. Not sure which version of PDI you have or the driver version that shipped with it. Pentaho historically has not kept up to dat with JDBC jars. So yes, it's possible that you have an old or bad jar file giving trouble.

Hello Martin, Import is working fine now, I believe I had a problem with the export utility in the first place. For the previous error I was receiving "mserver still alive!", the only way I was able to solve it is by setting the forward parameter to redirect instead of proxy. Now although my MonetDB is installed locally, this seems to have played the trick. I just finished importing 500M records with no problems. Any idea why proxy was causing the process to die during import? This is a wonderful DB, with a lot to offer. Thank you for your help. On Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 2:31 PM, Martin Kersten wrote:
