Problem description: | |
When you create an index on an SDS primary you may observe this index creation to hang while an ipl (index page logging) thread is waiting for an ipl_commit() to finish. This can happen when there are transactions that started some logs ago. On a primary with at least one active SDS node this will happen regardless of the setting of LOG_INDEX_BUILDS. Even when LOG_INDEX_BUILDS is switched off, the primary will use the ipl thread if at least one active SDS node is connected. The stack of the ipl thread: yield_processor_mvp mt_yield ipl_commit ipl_scanner_thread th_init_initgls startup The output of onstat -l address number flags uniqid begin size used %used 44c8cc90 1 U-B---- 79 1:25263 5000 14 0.28 44c8ccf8 2 U------ 80 1:30263 5000 11 0.22 44c8cd60 3 U------ 81 1:35263 5000 1 0.02 44c8cdc8 4 U------ 82 1:40263 5000 9 0.18 44c8ce30 5 U------ 83 1:45263 5000 5 0.10 44c8ce98 6 U---C-L 84 1:50263 5000 71 1.42 and onstat -x 44c78e30 A-B-- 44c3a6a8 3 80:0x9018 80:0x9050 COMMIT 00:00:00 0 To let the index creation continue you need to terminate the oldest open transaction(s). | |
