Hello, we are facing a similar issue on a Production system using a Postgresql 10.6:
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: EXCEPTION on getstatistics ; ID: EXCEPTION on getstatistics_media ; ID: uidatareader. run_query_media(2): [a1] REMOTE FATAL: dsa_allocate could not find 7 free pages The query reads remotely (via pl/proxy) tables containing a lot of data (up to millions or rows for each table/node) after a remote “group by" returns to the caller “master” node only a few hundreds of rows from each “slave” node. The tables are partitioned using the INHERITANCE method that we are using since years with no issue. All tables have the same columns structure and number, about 300 columns. In the query there are no join, only a variable set of partitions depending on the date range. The “REMOTE FATAL” refers to the pl/proxy that runs on 2 different slaves, [a0] and [a1], nodes with identical configuration and database structure, but it seems to fail only on node [a1]. When we get the error if we reduce the date range and therefore the quantity of data read, the error disappears, the same if we set max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 0. Obviously we cannot force the user to use short periods of time to avoid the error and so we have disabled the parallel query feature for the time being. It is difficult to reproduce the issue because not always the user gets the error, furthermore re-running the same query in different moments/days it usually works. It is a kind of weird. We would like not to stop the Production system and upgrade it to PG11. And even though would this guarantee a permanent fix? Any suggestion?
