02/22/2026, 5:41 PMResourceConstraintException: Unable to start the REPLICATION pod. This may be due to insufficient system resources. Please check available resources and try again. [MSSQL→MSSQL issue]
Once CPU resources were increased, the user confirmed: “Problem solved, It's about insufficient CPU in kubernetes.” [MSSQL→MSSQL issue]
In your case (SQL Server → Databricks), the knowledge sources do not explicitly mention Databricks, but given:
• The long run time (~20 minutes)
• The job “stuck after the orchestration image is created”
• Internal/Airbyte tables created but no data
the closest documented root cause is the same: the replication pod is not actually starting due to resource constraints (CPU/memory) on the Airbyte/Kubernetes cluster, so no records are ever read/emitted, yet the setup phase (schema/table creation) can still occur. [MSSQL→MSSQL issue]
What to check (based on the issue):
1. Inspect the job logs for messages like:
ResourceConstraintException: Unable to start the REPLICATION pod... [MSSQL→MSSQL issue]
2. Verify that the Kubernetes cluster (or whatever orchestrator you use) has enough CPU/memory to schedule:
◦ The orchestrator container
◦ The source connector container
◦ The destination connector container [MSSQL→MSSQL issue]
3. If you see such errors, increase available resources or lower the resource requests/limits for the workload so the replication pod can start.
If, after confirming resources are sufficient, you still see 0 records and no SELECT/EMITTED RECORDS in logs, the knowledge sources do not provide further Databricks-specific causes, so I can’t reliably point to another root cause beyond the documented resource-constraint issue. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.Nimrod Shenhav
