Insufficient blocks for partition error

Post by raki »

Hi,

when we try to do a lookup we get the following error

GENDER_TYPE_LOOKUP,12: Insufficient blocks for partition 12. Reading suppressed.

TAX_REGN_LOOKUP,12: Insufficient blocks for partition 12. Reading suppressed.

TAX_REGN_LOOKUP,10: Insufficient blocks for partition 10. Reading suppressed.

Can somebody tell me what this means? and how we can fix this?

thank you.

Tell us what you're trying to do.

At a guess you are performing "normal" (not sparse) lookups into a Lookup stage, and there is insufficient memory to load those rows from the reference table into a virtual Data Set on the nodes indicated.

The best fix, if this is the problem, is a hardware solution (more memory). Otherwise you may need to re-write the job using a Join stage rather than a Lookup stage.
