Describe the bug
When running a sort with a low memory limit, DataFusion can run into an internal error. I noticed this with the SHOW ALL;
command, which is converted to SELECT name, value FROM information_schema.df_settings ORDER BY name
and hence runs a sort.
To Reproduce
cargo run --bin=datafusion-cli -- -m=10m -c="show all"
Will error with
Error: Internal error: Should be called after `spill_append`.
This was likely caused by a bug in DataFusion's code and we would welcome that you file an bug report in our issue tracker
Note, that -m=20m
will succeed again.
Expected behavior
I'd instead expect the sort to either work (if necessary with spilling) or to return a non-internal error that's actionable to the user.
Additional context
Tested this on main.
I'd be happy to dig a little bit deeper into this over the weekend :)
