    Description

      when performed without using cpimport, insert into ... select ... statements corrupt the columnstore table catalog. the columnstore plugin needs to be restarted for the table to work normally

      -- 1. create a columnstore table
      create table t(a int) engine=ColumnStore;
       
      -- 2. fill table with insert .. select without using cpimport
      set statement columnstore_use_import_for_batchinsert=off for
      insert into t(a) 
      select 1;
       
      -- 3. t exists, seems to works fine
      select count(*) from t;  /* returns 1 */
       
      -- 4. when t is renamed, it turns out t was somehow corrupted
      rename table t to t2;
      select count(*) from t2;  /* returns  Error Code: 1815. Internal error: IDB-2006: 'mydb.t2' does not exist in Columnstore */
       
      -- 5. after systemctl restart mariadb-columnstore, t2 works normally
      select count(*) from t2;  /* returns 1 */
      
      

      • the problem does not appear when using columnstore_use_import_for_batchinsert=on (but using cpimport comes with its own issues, reported separately)
      • the problem does not appear with insert into ... values (). it is specifically about insert into ... select
      • the problem does not seem to be linked with the rename command. If the columnstore is restarted before step 4 then the rename actually works fine
