Description

Under rare circumstances, the database could become unresponsive (livelock) under high DBRAM swapping pressure while attempting to enlarge the exclusive DBRAM area. A high number of database objects and high concurrency increase the likelihood of this issue.

Workaround

Contact Exasol Support if this occurs repeatedly. We can evaluate whether increasing the initial exclusive DBRAM size could help prevent the problem.

Fix

The issue is fixed so that the system no longer livelocks in this situation.
