Description

Multi-node systems with multiple BucketFS buckets configured could hang during startup.

This issue can be identified by the error

Exception: Failed to start bucketfsd service: e_timeout. 

in exainit.log file (tail ~/.ccc/play/local//main//data/logs/cored/exainit.log) on at least one of the nodes.

Workaround

Try to avoid restarting all nodes at once; this will make it less likely that you will encounter this issue.

If you do encounter it, please contact Exasol support to guide you through steps needed to start the DB.

Fix

Startup process doesn’t hang in this scenario.
