First i would recommend against using the table output step because it uses normal inserts to populate data which will be extremely slow on any Column store database in general.

The bulk loader is the way to go and amazingly fast.

The JDBC driver I would check to get the latest version.  Not sure which version of PDI you have or the driver version that shipped with it. Pentaho historically has not kept up to dat with JDBC jars.  So yes, it's possible that you have an old or bad jar file giving trouble.

Hello Brandon,

 

Thank you for your reply. I am using the Table Output step. I restarted the process many times, fresh install, fresh load, but the problem persisted. If I use mclient to load the data or copy into, I face no issues. Could this be a JDBC driver issue?

Are you using the table output step or the MonetDB bulk loader step?

 

 

We experienced stability problems with MonetDB from time to time, especially when bulk loading to a MonetDB server that runs for days on end without being stopped and started again.  That's in combination of dropping large tables, recreating and bulk loading or delete and reloads via bulk loading.  It just seemed like the best in practice use for MonetDB was starting clean, creating tables, doing a large single load and making sure you restart the server at some point each day.  Otherwise the ETL would lock up randomly or the server would stop responding to queries or annoyingly stop accepting connections from any new clients.

 

I'm interested in what the developers suggest as a way to nail down what's happening.  It's not as simple as running a command and getting the wrong result, at least in my case.  Hopefully you find a more easily reproducible problem.

Hello,

 

I have recently started using MonetDB for a BI project, and it's doing pretty well. However, I receive a connection reset error each time I run an ETL process (I use Pentaho PDI) to populate my dimensional schema. This error is reported by the MonetDB JDBC driver

 

Connection reset(mserver still alive?)

 

This usually happens after a random amount of time, 30 min, 45 min, 1 hour, etc.

 

Any pointers related to this would be very helpful.

 

 

Specs

-------

Ubuntu 12.04

8 GB Ram

500 GB Space

Pentaho PDI (community edition)

Monetdb5 (installed using apt-get)

 

Thank you.
