Hi, I'm running a two-day-long program on Windows x64 with MonetDB.R that breaks somewhere into the second day due to what I believe is overloaded RAM? I was under the impression that this should not really happen with MonetDB, since it's a database that doesn't load everything into RAM.. Here's what's happening:
A big, complicated series of importations, merges, and recodes all work for the first two days on about 250,000,000 records of data.. but all the while my Windows Task Manager will slowly show the physical memory usage meter ticking up in the "Performance" tab. mserver.exe does NOT appear to be using RAM in the "Memory" column of the "Processes" tab, so it looks like there's a ghost using RAM.
Then, after two days, the script will break (mserver output shown below) - returning a GDK error on a seemingly-benign line of code, just a simple recode:
Error in .local(conn, statement, ..., async = async) : UPDATE ep10 SET rx_cso_cov = CVRD_D_PLAN_PD_AMT WHERE DRUG_CVRG_STUS_CD IN ( 'C','S','O' ) failed! Server says: !GDKerror:!ERROR: GDKmallocmax: failed for 589484032 bytes
After that, if I close mserver.exe and open it up again, it takes about twenty minutes to get the ">" mserver prompt. But it does open up eventually.. and at that point, if I re-connect to the server with R and run the exact same line, it works without error.
So it appears I just need to flush out that ghost/mystery RAM usage somehow? Does this error make sense?
There is no way this is due to lack of hard disk space - this server's C drive has 15GB free and the attached drive actually hosting all of this data has 235GB free. I don't want to rule it out, but I also doubt this problem is related to MonetDB.R, since the scenario I described does not require that I restart my R console, just mserver.exe.
I can work around the problem by manually killing and re-starting mserver.exe at a few logical breakpoints in my program, but I didn't think this was supposed to happen in the first place?
Thanks!!! Anthony
