Problem Description
In rare circumstances, a virtual schema pushdown request may crash, causing the SQL session to reconnect.
This problem will only occur, when the pushdown result of the virtual schema adapter includes IMPORT FROM EXA.
Fix
The pushdown request no longer crashes in this rare cornercase
Workaround
If possible, replace the IMPORT FROM EXA with IMPORT FROM JDBC.
This workaround will degrade performance, so it should be removed after this problem is fixed in Exasol.
