Based on the crash log provided, here is an analysis and suggested next steps: Analysis of the Crash * StarRocks Version: 4.0.12 RELEASE. * Crash Type:
SIGSEGV
(Segmentation Fault) at
__memcpy_evex_unaligned_erms
. * Location:
starrocks::BinaryColumnBase<unsigned int>::filter_range
. * Context: The crash occurred during an OLAP scan (
OlapChunkSource
) while the system was filtering a chunk of rows. The function
filter_range
is responsible for copying data from a column into a new chunk based on a filter bitmap (e.g., after a
WHERE
clause or runtime filter is applied). * Root Cause Inference: The
SIGSEGV
during
memcpy
in a
BinaryColumn
(used for
VARCHAR
,
STRING
, or
JSON
types) typically indicates: 1. Offset Corruption: An offset in the binary column points outside the actual data buffer. 2. Size Mismatch: The filter vector size does not match the number of rows in the column, leading to out-of-bounds memory access. 3. Data Limits: In some versions of StarRocks, if the total size of strings in a single chunk exceeds 2GB or 4GB, the
unsigned int
offsets may overflow or be handled incorrectly during filtering. Recommendations 1. Check the Query: * The
query_id
associated with the crash is
01a0b276-0ec1-72c9-b9d8-425138bfe789
. * Search your
fe.audit.log
for this ID to identify the specific SQL being executed. * Check if the query involves very large `VARCHAR`/`STRING` data or large
ARRAY
types. 2. Upgrade to 4.0.14+: * StarRocks version 4.0.14 includes specific fixes for
ARRAY
and
MAP
constructors that could previously return corrupted values when flattened results exceeded addressable byte limits. * Additionally, later patch releases often include stability fixes for vectorized filtering logic (
filter_range
). 3. Verify Data Consistency: * Run
ADMIN CHECK TABLET (tablet_id)
on the tablets involved in the query (found in BE logs) to ensure there is no underlying data corruption on disk. 4. Workaround (if persistent): * Try reducing the
pipeline_max_batch_size
(default 4096) for the session to see if smaller chunks avoid the overflow:
Copy code
sql
        SET pipeline_max_batch_size = 1024;
* If the crash is triggered by a specific runtime filter, you can try disabling them temporarily:
Copy code
sql
        SET enable_runtime_filter = false;
If the issue persists after upgrading, please provide the query plan (
EXPLAIN ANALYZE
) and the table schema to the StarRocks community or support team for further investigation. References • release_notes/release-4.0.md

r
The slow query log confirms that the query causing the crash is:
Copy code
sql
SELECT app_code, 
       COALESCE(get_json_string(OUTPUT, '$.CBSCORE'), ...) AS CB_Score, 
       ..., 
       get_json_string(UPPER(OUTPUT), '$.CBHITTYPE') AS CBHITTYPE 
FROM dmapp.dtm_los_log_cbscore
Analysis of the Failure The query is crashing in the storage engine's scan layer (
SegmentIterator
) specifically within
BinaryColumnBase<unsigned int>::filter_range
. This function is responsible for filtering out rows (likely due to deleted rows if this is a Primary Key table, or version compaction) by copying data from the source column to a new memory block. A
SIGSEGV
during
memcpy
in this function typically suggests one of the following: 1. Memory Corruption/Overflow: The
OUTPUT
column likely contains very large JSON strings. In StarRocks,
BinaryColumnBase<unsigned int>
uses 32-bit offsets. If the total size of data in a single processed "chunk" (group of rows) exceeds the addressable limit (2GB/4GB), the offsets can overflow, leading to an out-of-bounds memory access. 2. JSON Type Issues: The query uses
UPPER(OUTPUT)
and multiple
get_json_string
calls. If
OUTPUT
is a large
VARCHAR
being treated as JSON, the combination of high-concurrency and large string manipulation can trigger edge cases in memory management. 3. Known Regression in 4.0.x: There are known issues in early 4.0.x releases related to JSON subfield pushdown and large string processing that can lead to crashes (e.g., issues like #76594 or #63677). Recommended Actions 1. Upgrade to 4.0.14 or 4.0.15: * StarRocks 4.0.12 is susceptible to several stability issues related to complex type processing and large string filtering. Later patch versions (4.0.14+) include critical fixes for memory safety in vectorized filtering and JSON subfield extraction. 2. Avoid
UPPER(OUTPUT)
on Large JSON
: * The expression
get_json_string(UPPER(OUTPUT), ...)
is extremely expensive because it creates a complete uppercase copy of the entire JSON string for every row before extracting a single key. * Optimization: Convert the extracted value instead:
UPPER(get_json_string(OUTPUT, '$.CBHITTYPE'))
. This will be significantly faster and safer as it only operates on the small extracted string. 3. Reduce Batch Size (Temporary Mitigation): * If you cannot upgrade immediately, try reducing the chunk size to prevent the 32-bit offset overflow:
Copy code
sql
        SET pipeline_max_batch_size = 1024; -- Default is usually 4096
4. Check Table Health: * If this is a Primary Key table, run a check to ensure the underlying data segments are not corrupted:
Copy code
sql
        ADMIN CHECK TABLET (tablet_id); -- Get tablet_id from BE logs if possible
If the crash persists after changing the SQL to
UPPER(get_json_string(...))
, it strongly suggests a bug in the storage layer's handling of the
OUTPUT
column data, and an upgrade to a later patch release of the 4.0 branch is highly recommended.

r
The syntax you provided is correct for StarRocks (v3.1 and above). Since you are on version 4.0.12, this feature is fully supported. Why this is a good solution: 1. Performance: By using a Generated Column, StarRocks will pre-compute the value of
CBHitType
during data ingestion or when the column is added. This avoids the expensive
get_json_string
and
coalesce
logic during query time. 2. Addressing the Crash: In your previous crash log, the error occurred during a
memcpy
while filtering. Moving the JSON extraction to a generated column reduces the computational complexity and the number of temporary string allocations during the scan phase, which may bypass the memory issue you encountered. Correctness Check: * Syntax:
ADD COLUMN col_name data_type AS expr
is the standard StarRocks syntax for generated columns. * Data Type:
VARCHAR(50)
is appropriate for values extracted via
get_json_string
. * Compatibility:
COALESCE
and
get_json_string
are scalar functions, which are allowed in generated expressions (aggregate functions are the only major restriction). One Important Note: Table Type: Generated columns are not supported on Aggregate Key tables. If your table
dtm_los_log_cbscore
is a Duplicate Key or Primary Key table (which is typical for log data), this command will work perfectly. Recommended Execution: If the
OUTPUT
column contains very large JSON objects, adding this column will trigger a background task to populate the new column for existing rows. You can monitor the progress with:
Copy code
sql
SHOW ALTER TABLE COLUMN;
Once added, you should update your queries to use the new
CBHitType
column directly instead of the
COALESCE(get_json_string(...))
expression. StarRocks will even try to automatically rewrite existing queries to use this generated column if the expressions match.

This second crash (Query ID:
01a0b36a-7fa6-72e6-b55d-fdcea87835ab
) is different from the first one but related to the same high-pressure workload. Analysis of the Second Crash * StarRocks Version: 4.0.12 RELEASE. * Crash Type:
SIGSEGV
at
std::_Sp_counted_base<...>::_M_release()
. * Context: Spill to Disk logic (
SpillProcessChannel::close
). * Trigger: The crash occurred while the query engine was tearing down/closing a "spill" operator. This typically happens when a query that was writing intermediate data to disk (because it ran out of memory) is either finishing or being canceled. Root Cause In version 4.0.12, there is a known race condition and memory management bug in the pipeline spilling logic. When a query is canceled while a spill operation is in progress (specifically during partition sorting or channel cleanup), StarRocks may attempt to release a shared pointer that has already been invalidated or is in an inconsistent state. This is a recorded issue (related to internal PR #75140) where query cancellation during spilling triggers a segmentation fault in the
SpillProcessChannel
. Recommendations 1. Immediate Fix: Upgrade to 4.0.14 or later * Version 4.0.12 has several identified stability issues with the new pipeline execution engine and spilling. Later versions (4.0.14/4.0.15) contain critical fixes for
SpillProcessOperator
and general memory safety during query teardown. 2. Avoid Spilling (Optimization) * Spilling is only triggered when a query exceeds the
mem_limit
. * Increase Memory: If the BE has free RAM, increase the query memory limit to keep the operation in memory:
Copy code
sql
        SET mem_limit = 16106127360; -- Increase to 15GB or higher
* Disable Spilling (As a last resort): If the crashes are frequent and you'd prefer an
Out of Memory
error over a BE crash:
Copy code
sql
        SET enable_spill = false;
3. Monitor Query Cancellations * Since this crash often happens during cancellation, check if your application or users are manually killing long-running queries. Sudden cancellations of heavy queries are the primary trigger for this specific
close()
crash in 4.0.12. Summary of your issues You are encountering two distinct bugs in 4.0.12: 1. Filtering crash: Caused by large string manipulation/JSON extraction (the
filter_range
crash). 2. Spilling crash: Caused by memory management during spill cleanup (the
M_release
crash). Both are addressed by upgrading to a later patch of the 4.0 branch. If an upgrade is not immediate, the Generated Column solution we discussed earlier is your best path to reduce the memory pressure that leads to both filtering overhead and spilling.

@Rocky how to view current enable_spill properties
r
Since
enable_spill
is a system variable, you can view its current value using the standard MySQL-compatible
SHOW VARIABLES
command. To view the current session value: This shows the value active for your current connection.
Copy code
sql
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'enable_spill';
To view the global value: This shows the default value set for the entire cluster.
Copy code
sql
SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'enable_spill';
Related variables you might want to check: If you are troubleshooting the crash I mentioned earlier, you should also check these related spilling settings:
Copy code
sql
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%spill%';
*
spill_mode
: Usually
auto
. *
enable_spill_to_remote_storage
: If you are using object storage for spills. How to change it: * Session level (affects only your next queries):
Copy code
sql
    SET enable_spill = true;
* Global level (affects all new connections):
Copy code
sql
    SET GLOBAL enable_spill = true;
Note: For spilling to work, you must also have a valid directory configured in your
be.conf
under
spill_local_storage_dir
. If this is not set, enabling the variable will have no effect.

QuerySource=MV
→ query này được materialized view refresh task tự động sinh ra và chạy (không phải bạn gõ tay), chạy trong
default_mv_wg
. can limit resource of this
default_mv_wg work group to pass this error
r
Yes, you can limit the resources for the
default_mv_wg
work group to prevent these background Materialized View (MV) refresh tasks from crashing your cluster. Since you are on 4.0.12, modifying this system-defined resource group is the correct approach to isolate the impact of heavy background refreshes. How to limit
default_mv_wg
You can use the
ALTER RESOURCE GROUP
command to lower the memory ceiling and concurrency. This will force heavy MV refreshes to either wait in a queue or fail with a "memory limit exceeded" error instead of triggering the buggy spilling logic that crashes the BE. Run the following SQL:
Copy code
sql
ALTER RESOURCE GROUP default_mv_wg WITH (
    "concurrency_limit" = "1",       -- Only allow 1 MV refresh at a time
    "mem_limit" = "20%",             -- Limit total group memory to 20% of BE RAM
    "big_query_mem_limit" = "10GB"   -- Kill any single refresh task that exceeds 10GB
);
Why this helps: 1.
concurrency_limit
= 1
: Prevents multiple MVs from refreshing simultaneously, which often causes the memory "spike" that triggers the crashing spilling code. 2.
mem_limit
: Lowers the overall resource footprint allowed for background tasks. 3.
big_query_mem_limit
: This is the most effective way to "pass" the crash. If a refresh task starts consuming too much memory, StarRocks will terminate the query with an error (visible in
fe.audit.log
) before it hits the critical threshold where the
SpillProcessChannel
crash occurs. To check your changes: You can verify the current configuration of the group with:
Copy code
sql
SELECT * FROM information_schema.resource_groups WHERE name = 'default_mv_wg';
Proactive Tip: If you have one specific Materialized View that is particularly large and causing these issues, you can create a dedicated resource group for it and assign the MV to that group:
Copy code
sql
-- 1. Create a "low-priority" group
CREATE RESOURCE GROUP mv_heavy_task WITH ("mem_limit" = "10%", "concurrency_limit" = "1");

-- 2. Assign the specific MV to it (requires recreating or altering MV properties)
ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW your_mv_name SET ("resource_group" = "mv_heavy_task");
Note: If the MV refresh fails frequently after these limits, it confirms the query is too large for the current memory settings. In that case, optimizing the MV definition or implementing the Generated Columns (as discussed earlier) to reduce the data volume is recommended.

r
Looking at your current resource group configuration, the
default_mv_wg
is currently allowed to use up to 80% of memory and has no concurrency limit (
null
). This is why your MV refreshes are likely triggering the spilling logic and subsequent BE crashes when multiple tasks run or memory spikes. To stabilize your cluster and "pass" this error by failing the task safely instead of crashing the BE, run the following command:
Copy code
sql
ALTER RESOURCE GROUP default_mv_wg WITH (
    "concurrency_limit" = "1",
    "mem_limit" = "20%",
    "big_query_mem_limit" = "10G",
    "spill_mem_limit_threshold" = "90%"
);
Why these values? *
concurrency_limit
= 1
: This is the most critical setting. It ensures only one Materialized View refresh happens at a time. Parallel refreshes in version 4.0.12 are the most common cause of memory instability and spilling crashes. *
mem_limit
= 20%
: Your other groups (
bui_wg
and
cpm_wg
) are already claiming 80-90% of memory. Lowering the MV group limit prevents background tasks from starving your main workloads or pushing the BE into a critical state. *
big_query_mem_limit
= 10G
: (Adjust this based on your BE RAM). If a single refresh task uses more than 10GB, StarRocks will kill the query. In version 4.0.12, it is much better for a task to fail with a "Memory limit exceeded" error than to attempt to spill and crash the node. *
spill_mem_limit_threshold
= 90%
: By setting this high, you instruct the system only to attempt spilling when it's almost at the limit. Combined with the
big_query_mem_limit
, this makes it more likely the query will be aborted safely before the buggy spilling code path is even entered. Verification After running the command, check the status again:
Copy code
sql
SELECT * FROM information_schema.resource_groups WHERE name = 'default_mv_wg';
If your MV refreshes start failing with
Memory exceed limit
, you will need to either increase the BE memory or optimize the MV (e.g., using the Generated Columns or partition refreshes) rather than letting it run with refresh tasks run "unlimited."

r
big_query_mem_limit
is a circuit breaker for memory usage. It defines the maximum amount of memory a single query is allowed to consume on each individual BE (Backend) node. In your specific example:
'big_query_mem_limit' = '1073741824'
This means any query assigned to this resource group will be automatically terminated if it tries to use more than 1 GB (1,073,741,824 bytes) of RAM on any single BE. Key Characteristics: * Unit: It is measured in bytes. * Scope: The limit is applied per BE node, not globally across the cluster. If you have 3 BEs, a query could theoretically use nearly 3 GB in total across the cluster without being killed, as long as it stays under 1 GB on each node. * Behavior: When a query exceeds this limit, StarRocks kills the query and returns a "Memory limit exceeded" error. You can find these events in the
fe.audit.log
under the
ErrorCode
column. * Purpose: It protects the cluster from "rogue" or poorly written queries that might otherwise consume all available memory and crash the Backend process. Difference between
mem_limit
and `big_query_mem_limit`:
*
mem_limit
(e.g.,
'20%'
)
: This is the "soft" pool for the entire resource group. It defines the total memory all queries in that group can use together. If the group hits this, queries might start spilling to disk or queuing. *
big_query_mem_limit
(e.g.,
'1073741824'

@Rocky
'big_query_mem_limit' = '1073741824' is 1GB how about 10GB
r
To set
big_query_mem_limit
to 10 GB, you should use the following value in bytes:
'big_query_mem_limit' = '10737418240'
Calculation: * 1 GB = $1024 \times 1024 \times 1024 = 1,073,741,824$ bytes * 10 GB = $1,073,741,824 \times 10 = \mathbf{10,737,418,240}$ bytes Updated SQL Example:
Copy code
sql
ALTER RESOURCE GROUP default_mv_wg WITH (
    "big_query_mem_limit" = "10737418240"
);
Important Notes: 1. Units: Unlike the
mem_limit
parameter (which accepts percentages like
"20%"
or strings like
"10G"
), the
big_query_mem_limit
in the Resource Group definition strictly requires the value in bytes as a string. 2. Per BE Node: Remember that this limit is enforced on each individual BE node. If a query uses 9 GB on BE-1 and 9 GB on BE-2, it will not be killed (total 18 GB), but if it hits 10.1 GB on a single node, it will be terminated. 3. Safety: For your current issue (preventing crashes during MV refresh), setting this to roughly 10-20% of your total BE RAM is a good safety measure to ensure a "heavy" refresh is killed before it can destabilize the node.

@Rocky why i lost my db in starrocks non share cluster
r
In a StarRocks non-shared (Shared-nothing) cluster, a "lost" database usually stems from one of three scenarios: an accidental drop, metadata synchronization issues between FE nodes, or a change in user permissions. 1. Accidental Deletion (Most Common) If the database was dropped using a standard
DROP DATABASE
command, StarRocks does not delete the data immediately. It moves the metadata to a "recycle bin" for a retention period (default is 24 hours). * How to check: Look at your FE audit log (
fe/log/fe.audit.log
) for any
DROP DATABASE
statements. * How to recover: Try running the recover command immediately:
Copy code
sql
    RECOVER DATABASE your_db_name;
Note: This will not work if the database was dropped using
DROP DATABASE ... FORCE
.
2. FE Metadata Sync Issues In a non-shared cluster, the Frontend (FE) nodes manage metadata using BDBJE. If the FE nodes get out of sync or if you are connected to a "Follower" FE that hasn't replayed the latest journals, the database might appear missing. * Check FE Status: Run
SHOW FRONTENDS;
and ensure the
Alive
column is
true
for all nodes and one is designated as
LEADER
. * Check Logs: Look in
fe/log/fe.log
for errors like
ReplicaWriteException
or
got interrupt exception... when replay journal
. If an FE cannot replay the journal, it will have an outdated view of the metadata. 3. Visibility and Permissions Sometimes the database exists, but your current session or user cannot see it. * Catalog Context: Ensure you are in the internal catalog:
Copy code
sql
    SET CATALOG default_catalog;
    SHOW DATABASES;
* Permissions: If your user's roles or permissions were modified, the database will be hidden from
SHOW DATABASES
. Try logging in as the
root
or
admin
user to verify if the database is visible to them. 4. Disk or Hardware Failure (Data Loss) Since it is a shared-nothing cluster, the metadata lives on the FE's disk (under the
meta_dir
path). * If the FE's local storage was wiped (e.g., a Kubernetes pod restarted without a Persistent Volume), and there are no other FE Followers to sync from, the metadata is lost. * If you have a backup, you can use the
RESTORE
command to recover from a repository. Recommendation: 1. Run
RECOVER DATABASE <name>;
just in case. 2. Check
fe.audit.log
for the string
DROP
. 3. Check
fe.log
for any "Metadata failure" or "BDBJE" errors. 4. If you are using Kubernetes, verify that your FE
meta_dir
is mounted to a persistent volume (PVC). References • administration/Meta_recovery.md

@Rocky WITH strategy as ( select id, created_date , strategy_decision , strategy_name , strategy_version from losrep.approval where created_date > CURDATE() -7 and strategy_name is not null and strategy_name <> '' ) UPDATE dmapp.dtm_los_approval SET strategy_decision = strategy_decision, strategy_name = strategy_name, strategy_version = strategy_version FROM strategy WHERE dmapp.dtm_los_approval.id = strategy.id; correct?
r
Your SQL is logically on the right track, but there are a few important adjustments needed for it to work correctly in StarRocks: 1. Fix Column Ambiguity in
SET
In the
SET
clause, when a column name exists in both the target table and the source (the CTE), StarRocks may update the column with its own existing value (a "no-op") or throw an ambiguity error. You should qualify the source columns with the CTE name. 2. Date Arithmetic While
CURDATE() - 7
sometimes works, it is safer to use the
INTERVAL
syntax to ensure proper date handling. 3. Version & Table Type Requirements * StarRocks Version: CTEs in
UPDATE
statements are supported starting from v3.0. * Table Type: The target table (
dmapp.dtm_los_approval
) must be a Primary Key table. StarRocks does not support
UPDATE
on Duplicate, Aggregate, or Unique Key models. Recommended Version
Copy code
sql
WITH strategy AS (
    SELECT id, strategy_decision, strategy_name, strategy_version
    FROM losrep.approval
    WHERE created_date > DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 7 DAY)
      AND strategy_name IS NOT NULL 
      AND strategy_name <> ''
)
UPDATE dmapp.dtm_los_approval
SET strategy_decision = strategy.strategy_decision, -- Explicitly reference the CTE
    strategy_name = strategy.strategy_name,
    strategy_version = strategy.strategy_version
FROM strategy
WHERE dmapp.dtm_los_approval.id = strategy.id;
Key Checks: * Table Model: Run
SHOW CREATE TABLE dmapp.dtm_los_approval;
and verify it says
PRIMARY KEY (id)
. * Joins: StarRocks matches rows based on the
FROM
and
WHERE
clauses. If the CTE returns multiple rows for the same
id
, the target table will be updated with a value from one of those rows chosen randomly. Ensure
id
is unique in your
losrep.approval
source to avoid non-deterministic results. References • sql-reference/sql-statements/table_bucket_part_index/UPDATE.md • table_design/table_types/primary_key_table.md References • sql-reference/sql-statements/table_bucket_part_index/UPDATE.md • knowledge/usage/best-practice.md
l
@Rocky how to set above update statement run daily like submit task
r
To schedule your statement to run daily in StarRocks, you should use the
SUBMIT TASK
command. However, there is a technical constraint: as of recent versions,
SUBMIT TASK
officially supports
INSERT
and
CREATE TABLE AS SELECT
(CTAS) statements, but may not support direct
UPDATE
statements in some versions. The Recommended Way: Rewrite as
INSERT
Since your target table
dmapp.dtm_los_approval
is a Primary Key table (required for that
UPDATE
syntax), an
INSERT INTO ... SELECT
statement performs an "upsert." This means it will update existing rows with the same
id
and insert new ones if they don't exist. You can wrap this in a scheduled task like this:
Copy code
sql
SUBMIT TASK daily_approval_update
SCHEDULE EVERY(INTERVAL 1 DAY)
AS
INSERT INTO dmapp.dtm_los_approval (id, strategy_decision, strategy_name, strategy_version)
SELECT 
    id, 
    strategy_decision, 
    strategy_name, 
    strategy_version
FROM losrep.approval
WHERE created_date > DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 7 DAY)
  AND strategy_name IS NOT NULL 
  AND strategy_name <> '';
Why this works: 1. Functionality: On a Primary Key table,
INSERT
acts exactly like your
UPDATE
for existing IDs. 2. Scheduling: The
SCHEDULE EVERY(INTERVAL 1 DAY)
clause tells StarRocks to trigger this every 24 hours. 3. Asynchronous: It runs in the background. You can check the status of the task using:
Copy code
sql
    -- View the task definition
    SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.tasks WHERE task_name = 'daily_approval_update';

    -- View the execution history (Success/Failure)
    SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.task_runs WHERE task_name = 'daily_approval_update' ORDER BY create_time DESC;
How to manage the task: * To run it manually once right now:
ALTER TASK daily_approval_update RESUME;
(if it was paused) or just wait for the schedule. * To stop it:
DROP TASK daily_approval_update;
* Version requirement: You need StarRocks v3.3 or higher for the
EVERY(INTERVAL ...)
scheduling syntax within
SUBMIT TASK

@Rocky how to specify start datetime of today like 2026-09-21 00 00 00 created_date < today_start time
r
To specify the start of the current day (midnight) and schedule your task to start at a specific time, you can use the following methods: 1. SQL for "Start of Today" To filter for records before the start of today in your query, use the
date_trunc
function or simply
CURDATE()
. Both effectively represent
YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00
. * Using `date_trunc`:
WHERE created_date < date_trunc('day', now())
* Using `CURDATE`:
WHERE created_date < CURDATE()
2. Schedule Task with Specific Start Time In your
SUBMIT TASK
statement, you can use the
START
parameter to define exactly when the first execution should occur. If you want the task to run every day starting at midnight tonight, you would format it like this:
Copy code
sql
SUBMIT TASK daily_approval_update
-- Start at midnight on 2026-09-21 and repeat every 1 day
SCHEDULE START('2026-09-21 00:00:00') EVERY(INTERVAL 1 DAY)
AS
INSERT INTO dmapp.dtm_los_approval (id, strategy_decision, strategy_name, strategy_version)
SELECT 
    id, 
    strategy_decision, 
    strategy_name, 
    strategy_version
FROM losrep.approval
WHERE created_date < date_trunc('day', now()) -- Records before today's midnight
  AND strategy_name IS NOT NULL 
  AND strategy_name <> '';
Summary of Syntax *
START('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss')
: Tells StarRocks when to trigger the very first run. *
EVERY(INTERVAL 1 DAY)
: Tells StarRocks the frequency. *
date_trunc('day', now())
: Returns today's date at
00:00:00
. Note: If you set a
START
time that is in the past, StarRocks will typically trigger the task immediately to "catch up" and then follow the 1-day interval from that point.

@Rocky with the release of github.com/StarRocks/starrocks/…/4.1.3 what version should i used to run starrock in production
r
As of September 2026, the version you should choose for production depends on your organization's risk tolerance and feature needs. Based on the current release cycle and official documentation, there are two primary paths: *1. The Most Conservative Path: v3.5 (Stable)* If your priority is long-term stability and you do not immediately need the newest v4.x features, the 3.5 branch is currently designated as the "Stable" release in the official documentation. * Current Patch: v3.5.21 (Released August 28, 2026). * Best for: Mission-critical environments where stability is prioritized over new features. It includes mature support for cluster-level snapshots, batch ingestion optimizations, and refined security features like OAuth 2.0. *2. The Recommended Modern Path: v4.1 (Latest Production-Ready)* StarRocks v4.1 is officially described as "Built for Production" and is the current "Latest" minor branch. * Current Patch: v4.1.5 (Released September 8, 2026). * Why use 4.1 over 3.5? It introduces Adaptive Layout (auto-tablet splitting and distribution), which is a major operational improvement for shared-data (cloud-native) clusters. It also provides significantly better performance for JSON data and deep Apache Iceberg/Paimon integrations. * Note on 4.1.3: While you mentioned v4.1.3, it is always recommended to use the latest patch within a branch (e.g., v4.1.5) to ensure you have the most recent bug fixes and security patches (such as the recent CVE fixes for Apache HttpCore and Broker). Important Upgrade/Production Notes: * Container Users: If you are running in a containerized environment, ensure you are on v4.1.1 or higher. Version 4.1.0 had a known unstable load order issue for BE processes in containers. * Downgrade Restriction: Be aware that once you upgrade to v4.1, you cannot downgrade to any version below v4.0.6. This is due to changes in data layout and metadata introduced in the 4.1 branch. * Testing: Regardless of the version chosen, always validate the upgrade in a staging environment that mimics your production workload and data volume before proceeding. Summary Recommendation: * For maximum reliability: Use v3.5.21. * For performance and easier management (especially on Data Lakes): Use v4.1.5.

@Rocky how about 4.0.13 and 4.1.5
r
Both v4.0.13 and v4.1.5 are production-grade versions, but they serve slightly different purposes depending on your current environment and needs: StarRocks v4.1.5 (Recommended for Most Users) * Release Date: September 8, 2026. * Why choose it: This is the latest stable patch in the 4.1 line, which is officially marked as "Built for Production." * Key Advantages: * Adaptive Layout: Includes the most recent fixes for automatic tablet splitting and distribution (major operational help for growing datasets). * Performance: Reduced lock contention for lake segments and optimized background metadata refreshes for Paimon catalogs. * Memory Efficiency: Better streaming of source segments for lake column updates to prevent OOM. * Upgrade Note: If you are using containerized environments (Kubernetes/Docker), 4.1.5 is safe, whereas you should avoid the earlier 4.1.0 release due to container startup issues. StarRocks v4.0.13 * Release Date: July 16, 2026. * Why choose it: If you are already on the 4.0 branch and want to minimize risk by avoiding the major internal changes (like tablet splitting) introduced in 4.1. * Status: It is a mature patch, but note that v4.0.14 was released shortly after (August 11, 2026) with further fixes for
INSERT
validation and
NOT MATCH
logic for GIN indexes. * Constraint: If you plan to eventually move to 4.1, staying on v4.0.13 is fine. However, once you move to the 4.1 branch, you cannot downgrade to anything lower than v4.0.6. Summary Recommendation * New Clusters / Major Upgrades: Go with v4.1.5. It has the best performance and the most advanced automation features (Adaptive Layout). * Existing 4.0 Clusters: You can move to v4.0.13, but if you're taking the time to update, v4.0.14 is the more complete patch for that branch. * Maximum Stability: If your organization requires the most conservative path possible, the v3.5.21 (Stable) branch is still the gold standard for "no-surprises" production use.

l
@Rocky can downgrade from 4.0.12 to 3.5.21
r
Yes, you can downgrade from v4.0.12 to v3.5.21, but it requires specific steps to avoid metadata incompatibility and potential crashes. Key Compatibility Requirements * Target Version: You must downgrade to v3.5.2 or later. Since your target is v3.5.21, you satisfy this requirement. Downgrading to v3.5.0 or v3.5.1 is not supported and will cause FE crashes. * JDK Version: StarRocks v3.5 requires JDK 17 or later. Ensure your environment is updated to JDK 17 before starting the v3.5 processes. Required Preparation (Before Downgrading) 1. Disable Tablet Balancing: To prevent data movement during the process, run the following in your SQL client:
Copy code
sql
    ADMIN SET FRONTEND CONFIG ("tablet_sched_max_scheduling_tablets" = "0");
    ADMIN SET FRONTEND CONFIG ("tablet_sched_max_balancing_tablets" = "0");
    ADMIN SET FRONTEND CONFIG ("disable_balance" = "true");
    ADMIN SET FRONTEND CONFIG ("disable_colocate_balance" = "true");
2. Meta Scan Rewrite (Precaution): Although the docs specifically mention this for v4.0.3, it is recommended to disable this optimization before moving back to the 3.5 branch:
Copy code
sql
    SET GLOBAL enable_rewrite_simple_agg_to_meta_scan = false;
3. FE Configuration: In your
fe.conf
, set
ignore_unknown_log_id = true
. This allows the older FE version to ignore metadata logs generated by the newer v4.0 version. Downgrade Procedure Important: You must downgrade FEs first, then BEs. 1. FE Nodes: * Create a metadata snapshot:
ALTER SYSTEM CREATE IMAGE;
. * Stop the Follower FEs one by one, replace the binaries with v3.5.21, and restart them. * Finally, stop the Leader FE, replace the binaries, and restart it. 2. BE Nodes: * Stop each BE gracefully (
stop_be.sh --graceful
), replace binaries, and restart. 3. Cleanup: Once the cluster is stable on v3.5.21, re-enable tablet balancing and (after the first checkpoint) you can set
ignore_unknown_log_id = false
in
fe.conf
. Warning If you have used features unique to v4.0 (like specific GIN index enhancements or new SQL syntax in materialized views), those may fail or become invalid after the downgrade. Always perform a metadata backup (copy the
meta
directory) before starting the process. References • release_notes/release-4.0.md • deployment/downgrade.md • release_notes/release-3.5.md References • release_notes/release-4.0.md • release_notes/release-3.5.md • deployment/downgrade.md • release_notes/release-3.4.md

@Rocky my table dtm_log_score have colume OUTPUT which may two type of have values: 1: {"returnCode":"200","returnMessage":"Success","custRank":"BBB","custScore":"617"} 2: { "returnCode" : "000", "returnMessage" : "Success", "result" : { "score" : "0.663", "score1" : "0.881", "version" : "SCORING_GPDL_20241206" }, "messageId" : "88fb85f8-75fa-4b70-8d17-bf9905871c06" } now i want to extract json when value like case 2, to insert score1 in json to colume score1
r
To extract the
score1
value from your
OUTPUT
column specifically when it matches the structure in Case 2 (where it is nested inside a
result
object), you can use the
get_json_string
function or the JSON arrow operator
->
. Method 1: Using
get_json_string
(Recommended for VARCHAR columns)
This function returns a
VARCHAR
. If the path
$.result.score1
does not exist (as in Case 1), it will return
NULL
. To update the table:
Copy code
sql
UPDATE dtm_log_score 
SET score1 = get_json_string(OUTPUT, '$.result.score1')
WHERE get_json_string(OUTPUT, '$.result.score1') IS NOT NULL;
To use in a SELECT (for insertion):
Copy code
sql
SELECT 
    OUTPUT,
    get_json_string(OUTPUT, '$.result.score1') AS extracted_score1
FROM dtm_log_score
WHERE json_exists(OUTPUT, '$.result.score1');
────────── Method 2: Using the Arrow Operator
->
(Recommended for JSON columns)
If your
OUTPUT
column is defined with the JSON data type, the syntax is even simpler. Note that this returns a JSON-type value, so you may need to
CAST
it to the target type of your
score1
column. To update the table:
Copy code
sql
UPDATE dtm_log_score 
SET score1 = CAST(OUTPUT->'result'->'score1' AS DOUBLE)
WHERE OUTPUT->'result'->'score1' IS NOT NULL;
Key Functions Used: *
get_json_string(json_str, path)
: Extracts a string from the specified JSON path. *
json_exists(json_expr, path)
: Returns
1
if the path exists, which is useful for filtering rows that follow the "Case 2" format. *
CAST(... AS TYPE)
: If your target
score1
column is numeric (e.g.,
DOUBLE
or
DECIMAL
), wrap the extraction in a cast since JSON extraction defaults to strings or JSON types. Handling Case 1 vs. Case 2: Because Case 1 does not have a
result
key, both
get_json_string(OUTPUT, '$.result.score1')
and
OUTPUT->'result'->'score1'
will safely return NULL for those rows, preventing incorrect data from being inserted.

@Rocky how to create a colume score1 for this dtm_log_score table, as this table not have score1
r
To add the
score1
column to your
dtm_log_score
table, you have two main options depending on whether you want to manually update the data or have StarRocks extract it automatically. Option 1: Standard Column (Manual Update) Use this if you want a normal column that you will populate once or via your own ETL process. Since your data looks like a decimal (e.g.,
"0.881"
), I recommend
VARCHAR
or
DOUBLE
.
Copy code
sql
ALTER TABLE dtm_log_score 
ADD COLUMN score1 VARCHAR(64) DEFAULT NULL;
After running this, you can use the
UPDATE
statement provided in the previous answer to fill it with data.
────────── Option 2: Generated Column (Automatic Extraction) Recommended: If you are on StarRocks v3.1 or higher, you can create a Generated Column. This column will automatically extract
score1
whenever a new row is inserted or the
OUTPUT
column is updated. It also saves you from running manual
UPDATE
scripts.
Copy code
sql
ALTER TABLE dtm_log_score 
ADD COLUMN score1 VARCHAR(64) AS get_json_string(OUTPUT, '$.result.score1');
Why use this? * Automatic: Any new data following "Case 2" will have its
score1
populated immediately. * Performance: StarRocks stores this value on disk, so queries on
score1
will be much faster than parsing JSON at query time. ────────── Important Notes: 1. Table Model: * If your table is a Duplicate Key or Primary Key model, the command above works directly. * If your table is an Aggregate Key model, you must specify an aggregation type (e.g.,
REPLACE
or
NONE
):
Copy code
sql
        ALTER TABLE dtm_log_score ADD COLUMN score1 VARCHAR(64) REPLACE DEFAULT NULL;
2. Position: By default, the column is added at the end. If you want it after a specific column, add
AFTER column_name
at the end of the command. 3. Check Progress: Adding a column is an asynchronous operation. You can check if it's finished by running:
Copy code
sql
    SHOW ALTER TABLE COLUMN;

l
@Rocky which datatype to used for score1 as in json it's string like double
r
For your
score1
column, since the values in your JSON are decimal-like strings (e.g.,
"0.881"
), you should choose between DECIMAL and DOUBLE based on your precision needs: 1. Recommended:
DECIMAL(P, S)
(High Precision)
If you need exact precision for comparisons (e.g.,
score1 > 0.880
) or if these scores are used for financial/risk calculations, use
DECIMAL
. * Precision (P): Total number of digits. * Scale (S): Number of digits after the decimal point. * Example:
DECIMAL(10, 3)
would store numbers up to
9999999.999
. How to add it (as a Generated Column):
Copy code
sql
ALTER TABLE dtm_log_score 
ADD COLUMN score1 DECIMAL(10, 3) 
AS CAST(get_json_string(OUTPUT, '$.result.score1') AS DECIMAL(10, 3));
2. Alternative:
DOUBLE
(Better Performance)
If these scores are used for general analytics, machine learning, or scientific calculations where a tiny rounding difference won't matter,
DOUBLE
is faster and uses less storage. * Example:
DOUBLE
How to add it:
Copy code
sql
ALTER TABLE dtm_log_score 
ADD COLUMN score1 DOUBLE 
AS CAST(get_json_string(OUTPUT, '$.result.score1') AS DOUBLE);
Which one to choose? Feature | ***DECIMAL*** | ***DOUBLE*** Precision | Exact (fixed-point) | Approximate (floating-point) Performance | Good (Optimized "Fast Decimal") | Excellent (Native CPU support) Use Case | Financials, Exact Thresholds | Statistics, Aggregations, ML Recommendation: For a score like
"0.881"
,
DECIMAL(10, 3)
is the safest choice to ensure the data you extract matches the JSON exactly without any floating-point "noise" (like
0.881000000001
). Important Tip for v4.0/v3.5 Since you are extracting from a JSON string, if some rows have non-numeric data in that field,
CAST
will return
NULL
for those rows instead of failing, which is usually the desired behavior for dirty data.

@Rocky what happen when data in json score1 is not double, like a string value like error
r
If the value in your JSON for
score1
is a non-numeric string like
"error"
, the following will happen: 1. The Result becomes
NULL
When you use
CAST(... AS DOUBLE)
or
CAST(... AS DECIMAL)
, StarRocks attempts to convert the string to a number. If the string is not a valid number (like
"error"
,
"N/A"
, or an empty string
""
), the
CAST
function will return
NULL
. It will not cause the entire query to fail or the data loading to crash. 2. Behavior in a Generated Column If you set up
score1
as a Generated Column, any row containing
"error"
in the JSON will simply have a
NULL
value in the
score1
column.
Copy code
sql
-- If OUTPUT is: {"result": {"score1": "error"}}
-- This expression:
CAST(get_json_string(OUTPUT, '$.result.score1') AS DOUBLE) 
-- Returns: NULL
3. How to handle "error" strings If you want to distinguish between a "missing" value and an "invalid/error" value, you have two options: Option A: Keep it as a String (VARCHAR) If you need to see the actual word "error" in your reports, define the column as
VARCHAR
instead of a numeric type.
Copy code
sql
ALTER TABLE dtm_log_score 
ADD COLUMN score1 VARCHAR(64) 
AS get_json_string(OUTPUT, '$.result.score1');
Option B: Use a Default Value for Errors If you want to treat "error" as a specific number (like
-1
), you can use
ifnull
or `CASE`:
Copy code
sql
ALTER TABLE dtm_log_score 
ADD COLUMN score1 DOUBLE 
AS ifnull(CAST(get_json_string(OUTPUT, '$.result.score1') AS DOUBLE), -1.0);

Your SQL is mostly correct in syntax, but the
UPDATE
statements are unnecessary and will cause an error.
Here is the breakdown of why and the recommended way to do it: 1. The
UPDATE
statements will fail
When you define a column with the
AS (...)
syntax, it becomes a Generated Column. In StarRocks: * Automatic Population: StarRocks automatically calculates and fills the data for all existing rows as soon as you add the column. * Read-Only: You cannot manually
UPDATE
or
INSERT
values into a generated column. If you try to run your
UPDATE
statements, StarRocks will return an error:
materialized column 'score' can not be specified
. 2. Recommended SQL You can simplify your request by combining the
ALTER
statements and removing the
UPDATE
scripts. I also recommend using
get_json_double
for cleaner code.
Copy code
sql
-- Add both columns in one go (Recommended)
ALTER TABLE dmapp.dtm_log_score 
  ADD COLUMN score DOUBLE AS get_json_double(OUTPUT, '$.result.score'),
  ADD COLUMN score1 DOUBLE AS get_json_double(OUTPUT, '$.result.score1');
3. Important Considerations * Asynchronous Operation: Adding columns to an existing table is an asynchronous task. After running the
ALTER
command, check the progress with:
Copy code
sql
    SHOW ALTER TABLE COLUMN;
The columns will only be "visible" and populated once the State is
FINISHED
. * Data Types: As discussed before, if you need 100% exact precision (like for financial balances), use
DECIMAL(10,3)
instead of
DOUBLE
. * Aggregate Tables: If your table is an
AGGREGATE KEY
model, you cannot use Generated Columns. This feature is only supported for
DUPLICATE KEY
and
PRIMARY KEY
models. Summary Just run the
ALTER TABLE
statement. StarRocks will handle the data extraction for your existing rows and all future rows automatically. No
UPDATE
is needed.

r
For a 17GB log table, your current design works but has several areas for improvement in terms of storage efficiency, memory usage, and query speed. Here are the recommended optimizations: 1. Change to
DUPLICATE KEY
(Recommended for Logs)
You are currently using a
PRIMARY KEY
table. * The Issue: PK tables keep an index in memory to handle updates. For a "log" table (which is usually append-only), this wastes a significant amount of RAM. * The Fix: Use
DUPLICATE KEY
. It is the most efficient model for log data and allows StarRocks to use a "Sort Key" for extremely fast filtering on the columns you query most. 2. Add Partitioning Your current table is one single block (17GB). As it grows to 100GB+, queries will slow down because StarRocks has to scan everything. * The Fix: Partition by
SYS_RUN_DATE
. This allows StarRocks to "prune" (skip) entire days of data when you query a specific range. 3. Use the Native
JSON
Type
You are using
VARCHAR(65533)
and manual
CAST(get_json_string...)
. * The Issue:
VARCHAR
stores JSON as raw text, which is bulky. * The Fix: Use the native
JSON
type. It stores data in a binary format (faster to parse) and supports Flat JSON (available in v3.3+, enabled by default in v4.0), which automatically speeds up sub-field access without needing generated columns. 4. Optimize the
ID
Column
* The Issue:
decimal(38, 20)
is a very heavy data type (16 bytes). * The Fix: If your
ID
is a standard integer, use
BIGINT
(8 bytes). If it’s a UUID-like string, use
VARCHAR
. ────────── Optimized Table DDL Here is the improved design:
Copy code

) ENGINE=OLAP
DUPLICATE KEY(`SYS_RUN_DATE`, `ID`, `APP_CODE`) -- Logs use Duplicate Key
PARTITION BY date_trunc('day', `SYS_RUN_DATE`)   -- Crucial for performance

PROPERTIES (
    "compression" = "LZ4",
    "fast_schema_evolution" = "true",
    "replication_num" = "2"
);
Why these changes help: 1. Partitioning: Queries like
WHERE SYS_RUN_DATE >= '2023-10-01'
will only scan the specific day's data, making them 10x-100x faster as the table grows. 2.
ID
vs
APP_CODE
for Bucketing:
APP_CODE
often has "skew" (e.g., one app has 80% of the logs), which makes one bucket huge and others empty. Using
ID
or
RANDOM
ensures data is spread evenly across all BE nodes. 3. Buckets: Increased from 8 to 16. For 17GB, 16-20 tablets is a better "sweet spot" for parallelism across your cluster. 4. `get_json_double`: This is a specialized function that is faster than the
CAST(get_json_string)
combination. Note: If you absolutely need to update existing rows based on the ID, stay with the
PRIMARY KEY
model, but still add the Partitioning and JSON type changes above. References • Duplicate Key Table • JSON Data Type • Data Partitioning References • table_design/table_types/duplicate_key_table.md

@Rocky why so many buckets as each partition have 16 buckets seem so many DISTRIBUTED BY HASH(
ID
) BUCKETS 16
r
You're right to be concerned. If you have many partitions (e.g., one per day), having 16 buckets per partition for a 17GB total table is likely too many. Here is why 16 was suggested as a starting point and how you should actually tune it for your data size. 1. The "1GB per Bucket" Rule StarRocks performs best when each individual "bucket" (also called a tablet) is between 100MB and 1GB in size (compressed on disk). * Total Data: 17GB. * If you have 1 Partition (No partitioning): $17GB \div 16 \text{ buckets} \approx \mathbf{1GB}$ per bucket. In this case, 16 is perfect. * If you have 30 Partitions (Daily for 1 month): $17GB \div 30 \text{ days} \div 16 \text{ buckets} \approx \mathbf{35MB}$ per bucket. This is too small. 2. Why "Too Many" Buckets is Bad If your buckets are too small (e.g., 10MB or 30MB): * Metadata Overhead: The Front-End (FE) has to track every single tablet. Thousands of tiny tablets waste FE memory. * Query Overhead: To run a query, StarRocks has to open many small files. This creates high "plan" time and inefficient I/O. * Compaction Stress: The Back-End (BE) nodes spend too much CPU resources trying to merge many tiny files. 3. The Better Way: Use "Auto-Bucketing" Since StarRocks v2.5.7, you don't need to pick a number. You can omit the
BUCKETS
keyword or just provide the distribution key, and StarRocks will calculate the buckets for you based on your cluster size and data volume. Recommended DDL for your 17GB table:
Copy code
sql
DISTRIBUTED BY HASH(`ID`) -- Let StarRocks decide the number of buckets
If you want to be safe and manual: * If you partition by Day: Use 1 to 3 buckets per day (since 17GB / 365 days is only ~46MB per day). * If you partition by Month: Use 8 buckets per month. 4. Summary Recommendation If your 17GB table represents a few months of data: 1. Use HASH(
ID
) without a bucket number
to let the system auto-manage it. 2. Aim for Parallelism: You want at least as many total tablets as you have CPU cores in your BE cluster to ensure the query is fast, but no more than what is needed to keep each tablet around 500MB-1GB. For a 17GB table, if you are using daily partitions,
BUCKETS 1
or
BUCKETS 2
is actually more than enough for performance while keeping the system healthy.

VALUES
như ví dụ bạn đưa ra. Phần
VALUES
trong StarRocks yêu cầu các biểu thức hằng số (constants) hoặc các hàm có thể tính toán ngay lập tức, không cho phép thực hiện một phép tính dựa trên dữ liệu từ bảng khác tại thời điểm đó. Giải pháp: Sử dụng
INSERT INTO ... SELECT
Để thực hiện mục đích cộng dồn ID tự động (dynamic ID), bạn nên chuyển sang cú pháp
INSERT INTO ... SELECT
. Cách này hoàn toàn hợp lệ và đạt được kết quả tương đương:
Copy code
sql
INSERT INTO dwh.af_extract_mapping 
(ID, PROJECT_NAME, AF_SRC_CONN_ID, SRC_SCHEMA, SRC_TABLE, AF_DEST_CONN_ID, DEST_SCHEMA, DEST_TABLE, DEST_PRE_SQL, DEST_CHECKPOINT_SQL, SRC_EXTRACT_SQL, DEST_POST_SQL, DESCRIPTION, STATUS_FLAG, DEST_STAGING_TABLE, BATCH_SIZE, DEPENDS_ON)
SELECT 
    IFNULL(MAX(ID), 228) + 1, -- Đây là kết quả SQL động
    'DMAPP_DATA_02', 
    'DTM_PRO', 
    'QTDM', 
    'CIC_SKIPPING_RISK_INDICATORS_AVC', 
    'SR_DMAPP_PRO', 
    'qtdm', 
    'CIC_SKIPPING_RISK_INDICATORS_AVC', 
    'truncate table qtdm.CIC_SKIPPING_RISK_INDICATORS_AVC', 
    NULL, 
    'SELECT * FROM QTDM.CIC_SKIPPING_RISK_INDICATORS_AVC', 
    NULL, 
    NULL, 
    1, 
    NULL, 
    100000, 
    NULL
FROM dwh.af_extract_mapping;
Tại sao nên dùng cách này? 1. Tính linh hoạt:
SELECT
cho phép bạn thực hiện các phép tính logic phức tạp (MAX, IFNULL, JOIN...) trước khi nạp vào bảng. 2. Đúng chuẩn StarRocks: StarRocks được tối ưu hóa cho các thao tác nạp dữ liệu từ các tập kết quả (result set) thông qua
SELECT
. Lưu ý quan trọng về ID: Nếu bảng
af_extract_mapping
của bạn được thiết kế để nạp dữ liệu liên tục với tần suất cao, việc dùng
MAX(ID) + 1
có thể gây ra lỗi Duplicate Key nếu có hai tiến trình INSERT chạy cùng một lúc (race condition). * Lời khuyên: Nếu có thể, hãy cân nhắc sử dụng tính năng AUTO_INCREMENT của StarRocks (hỗ trợ từ phiên bản 3.0 cho bảng Primary Key) để hệ thống tự quản lý ID một cách an toàn và hiệu quả hơn.
