Description
Due to a rare condition an IMPORT/EXPORT job could hang. If this happens, there won’t be any progress in the amount of loaded rows for a longer period of time. This can be checked in the activity column of the EXA_*_SESSIONS system tables.
Workaround
In case you are experiencing this scenario, you can terminate the job by using the KILL STATEMENT IN SESSION command.
It is very likely that a retry won't have this problem again.
