Description
ConfD is a low-level API that can be used to perform all administrative actions in Exasol. The ConfD API is available on all nodes in a deployment. You can interact with ConfD directly using the command-line tool confd_client, or indirectly through XML-RPC in your own Python programs.
Sometimes ConfD calls might have been failing with timeout error like
tornado.simple_httpclient.HTTPTimeoutError: Timeout while connecting
in high memory load scenarios.
Workaround
There is no workaround.
Fix
An internal diagnostic routine was diagnosed to be responsible for the problem and was optimized.
