We had two users crash with the following backtrace:
Core dump analysis showed that the assertion
D_ASSERT(lstate.writer);
inMergeCollectionTask::Execute
(i.e. it is crashing becauselstate.writer
is NULLPTR) was not satisfied whenPhysicalBatchInsert::Sink
was processing merge tasks from (other) pipeline executors.My suspicion is that this is only likely to happen for heavily concurrent workloads (applicable to the two users which crashed). The patch submitted as part of this PR has addressed the issue for these users.
