Hi John-

We are chasing down a small issue that sporadically occurs within our data 
partitions and was curious if you might have any insight (we are using 1.3.9).


We generate data partitions offline and periodically download new partitions 
into a temp folder, and then issue a ‘mv’ command into our data dir.  What 
sometimes occurs is that a newly downloaded partition will have an error like 
this:


Warning -- column[Column index metadata_JvC8R1.sample](LONG)::estimateRange -- 
received a std::exception -- bitvector::decompress failed to allocate array to 
uncompressed bits
Tue Jul  1 23:51:14 2014
Warning -- column[Column index metadata_JvC8R1.sample](LONG)::estimateRange -- 
received a string exception -- or_c2 internal error
Tue Jul  1 23:51:15 2014
Warning -- column[Column index metadata_JvC8R1.sample](LONG)::estimateRange -- 
received a std::exception -- bitvector::decompress failed to allocate array to 
uncompressed bits
Tue Jul  1 23:51:16 2014
Warning -- column[Column index metadata_JvC8R1.sample](LONG)::estimateRange -- 
received a std::exception -- bitvector::decompress failed to allocate array to 
uncompressed bits


Each warning causes the fastbit library to block for 1 second.  So if there are 
30 partitions with this issue it would take 30 seconds to run.  We are able to 
‘fix' the partition by deleting and re-downloading the partition.  We don’t 
have to re-generate the partition, so it seems like the issue is not how we 
generate the partition.  It seems to be how it’s being copied in or if fastbit 
does something on the first run.   Also, we only ever see this issue with INT 
and LONG fields for some reason.


We’re working to deterministically reproduce the issue and will let you know 
our findings.  Let me know if you have any further insight into what we’re 
seeing.

Thanks!

Sean
