CAL0000: VBBM::getBlocks(): version buffer overflow error

Hi all,

I have MariaDB CS 1.0.9 installed in a single node on RHEL7.2.

One of my users recently tried to delete records from a ColumnStore table with the error below returned:

Internal error: CAL0002: Delete Failed: IDB-2008: The version buffer overflowed. Increase VersionBufferFileSize or limit the rows to be processed.

I tried altering the table from ColumnStore to InnoDB but faced a similar error:

Jul 18 23:01:44 ods workernode[47824]: 44.562315 |0|0|0| C 30 CAL0000: VBBM::getBlocks(): version buffer overflow. Increase VersionBufferFileSize. Overflow occured in aged blocks. Requested NumBlocks:VbOid:vbFBO:lastFBO = 1:0:27000:27099 lbid locked is 323416308
Jul 18 23:01:44 ods ddlpackageproc[48579]: 44.566626 |0|0|0| E 23 CAL0001: Alter table Failed:  WE: Update failed on: systable

I get the same error when trying to drop the table.

I've increased the VersionBufferFileSize value in Columnctore.xml to 2GB from 1GB but the problem still persists.

Is there something else I can do?

Thanks.

Did you restart columnstore, this setting requires a restart?
