Description
Exasol software generates process coredumps in some scenarios like an unhandled exception.
Prior to Exasol version 8 it was possible in EXAoperation to configure coredump retention time, after which they were removed.
In Exasol version 8, coredumps were not cleaned up automatically. This might eventually cause high disk usage.
Workaround
The current workaround is to manually remove them.
Fix
Coredumps are cleaned up regularly and automatically.
