Downloading large files from an S3 remote volume can result in a deadlock

Type Bug
Status Open
Affected Versions Exasol 8.0.0

Description

Downloading large files from an SDFS remote volume that uses an S3 bucket as its backend can result in a deadlock. As a consequence, backups to such a remote volume may get stuck at 70% progress. The issue could also affect BucketFS Services with S3 backend (mostly used in Exasol SaaS).

Workaround

Add the cloud_backend_v1 option to the remote volume configuration to use the legacy implementation (see Create remote archive volume).

Fix

The backend is updated to handle large files correctly.
