Snowflake Slowdown in the EU Region

9 Jul 2020 08:24 UTC We're seeing a higher load and longer execution time in EU Snowflake queries. We are investigating the causes. Next update in 60 minutes or as new information becomes available.

UPDATE 9 Jul 2020 8:54 UTC We have added additional power to the warehouse to help process the queued queries. Currently the situation seems normal, but we're monitoring it closely for next couple hours. Next update in 90 minutes or as new information becomes available.

UPDATE 9 Jul 2020 9:18 UTC After all the additional workload has been processed we have scaled down the cluster, but we're seeing queuing jobs again. We have again scaled up the cluster to help with the load. We're monitoring the situation closely. Next update in 60 minutes or as new information becomes available.

UPDATE 9 Jul 2020 10:15 UTC We're in touch with Snowflake support to resolve this issue. Meanwhile we have decreased the worker capacity so the Storage jobs may be queued on our end. This should take some load off the Snowflake warehouse to maximize it's performance. Next update in 60 minutes or as new information becomes available.

UPDATE 9 Jul 2020 11:45 UTC Snowflake engineering team is resolving the underlying issue. Thanks to the throttling on our end there are currently no delays in jobs processing. Next update in 60 minutes or as new information becomes available.

UPDATE 9 Jul 2020 12:30 UTC Snowflake informed us that the issue was fixed. We're restoring platform parameters to the original values and will continue monitoring the situation. Next update in 60 minutes or as new information becomes available.

UPDATE 9 Jul 2020 13:20 UTC All operations are back to normal and everything is fully working.

We're sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

Week in review -- June 29th, 2020

New Features and Updates

Project Description

Project description is no longer in a read-only mode; you can modify it to fit your needs.

Looker Writer Connection Name

Deprecation of Storage API .NET Client

We decided to deprecate the old and no longer maintained .NET version of the Storage API client. As a replacement we recommend you one of the supported Storage API clients.

Renaming Storage Buckets and Tables

There's a separate post explaining this new feature.

Selecting Bucket in Input Mapping

You can select a whole bucket when adding new tables to Input Mapping. This was originally enabled only for transformations; now you can use this feature for all remaining components.

Bug Fixes

  • Generic Extractor no longer stops after the 2nd page when downloading data in child jobs (only configurations with Limit Stop setting were affected)
  • CSV import component supports full load again (due to a bug, all imports were performed incrementally).
  • MySQL writer no longer writes an "empty string" instead of a null for columns with DATE and DATETIME data types.

New Components

  • CSOB CEB extractor for downloading bank statements from the CSOB CEB Business Connector service
  • Azure Blob Storage writer for exporting any input CSV files into designated Blob containers
  • Sisense writer for sending tables from Keboola Connection to a Sisense database platform
  • Zendesk writer for creating and updating Zendesk Support properties with the flexibility of defining their own parameters

OAuth Component Authorization errors

We’re currently experiencing OAuth authorization errors returning error:

Docker encryption error: Contact support@keboola.com and attach this exception id

Only authorization of new configuration is affected, running jobs aren't affected. First occurrence of the error was at 14:02 UTC.

We are performing rollback. Next update in 60 minutes or as new information becomes available.

UPDATE 14:42 UTC - Rollback was successfully performed on EU region. Rollback for US region is in progress. Next update in 60 minutes or as new information becomes available.

UPDATE 15:01 UTC - Rollback was performed also on US region. All system are operational.

"Something went wrong" - UI error in OAuth relying components

June 17, 10:26 UTC - After releasing a new version of OAuth broker we have identified that UI of components relying on OAuth authorization is broken, displaying only message: "Something went wrong".

UPDATE 11:01 UTC - We have reverted the release to previous version, which restored the functionality. We are still investigating this issue. It's possible that the problem also affected jobs of these components.

UPDATE 11:31 UTC - We have confirmed that the jobs of the components were unaffected by this bug

Snowflake engineering is investigating the issue. Next update in 4 hours or as new information becomes available.

UPDATE June 11, 8:39 UTC - Snowflake engineering confirmed that queries which failed tonight were still running on affected release while clusters were still migrating to newer release. At the moment we don't register any failures of queries running on new release. We're monitoring the situation. Next update in 12 hours or as new information becomes available.

UPDATE June 11, 20:52 UTC - There were no query failures since last update. We'll continue to monitor the situation.

Oracle extractor higher error rate

We are investigating higher error rate of Oracle extractor jobs. Affected jobs ends with error:

DB query failed: Export process failed: Connection error: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection Tried 5 times.

Next update in 60 minutes or as new information becomes available.

UPDATE 10:14 UTC: We have preventively rollbacked to previous version of extractor and we are monitoring presence of the failures. Next update in 60 minutes or as new information becomes available.

UPDATE 10:40 UTC: After the rollback all previously affected configurations are running ok. We are investigating what caused the regression in new release and we'll provide details in next three days.

UPDATE June 9, 07:14 UTC: Failures were caused by incorrect connection parameters handling in component. Only configurations using SSH Tunnel were affected. We are working on better test coverage for these cases to avoid the similar issues. We sincerely apologize for the errors.  

MySQL extractor errors

We are investigating MySQL extractor errors for some configurations ending with error message: 

The "incrementalFetchingColumn" must be configured, if incremental fetching is enabled.

The issue is probably caused by new extractor release on Jun 08 05:55 UTC, we are doing rollback.

UPDATE 07:07 UTC: We have rollbacked the previous version. All affected configurations should start working in five minutes.

UPDATE 07:18 UTC: All affected configurations are working again, last error at Jun 08 07:07:45
