std::bad_alloc Loading SDK Sample Libraries

For what it's worth, there may be some additional hints on what's happening (e.g. out of memory in PermGen space) in the UDxFencedProcessesJava.log which resides under your database catalog/UDxLogs dir.

Can you post the results of trying to compile just one of the Java example?

Example:

make JavaFunctions

See below for rerun results.

I initially built using make. It gave warnings about skipping different components due to missing headers; the build appeared successful otherwise. I did not try loading it at this point; instead I installed headers using the apt-get commands above, rebuilt incrementially after each one, and then got a clean build from make. I have tried using make clean and then make again, and loading again, and still get bad_alloc.

Log file is attached; interestingly there is only one failure directly related to the library file (I made multiple attempts on Jan 2).

Rerun results from today:

$ make clean

rm -rf /home/jpotts/code/vertica-9-examples/build/tmp
rm -f /home/jpotts/code/vertica-9-examples/build/.so
rm -f /home/jpotts/code/vertica-9-examples/build/.jar
rm -rf /home/jpotts/code/vertica-9-examples/build/Java*
rmdir /home/jpotts/code/vertica-9-examples/build >/dev/null 2>&1 || true

$ make

(see attached; some folders obfuscated. appears successful)

Error I get using vsql (error in first post is using DBVisualizer):

vsql:AggregateFunctions.sql:12: ROLLBACK 3399: Failure in UDx RPC call InvokeGetLibraryManifest(): Exception calling getLibraryManifest() in User Defined Object [], message: std::bad_alloc

And a portion of the vertica.log file from the immediately above vsql run, attached.

Hi!

What is version of Ubuntu?

tldr: java fixed now; c++ sample still not working

$ vsql -U dbadmin -f JavaFunctions.sql

vsql:JavaFunctions.sql:14: ROLLBACK 5702: Couldn't create new UDx side process: Java Binary not found: /usr/bin/java/bin/java

$ sudo -u dbadmin printenv | grep JAVA_HOME
JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin/java

The JAVA_HOME variable above is incorrect; it points at an executable rather than a folder. It wasn't obvious because it was only affecting the dbadmin user rather than my user account.

How I found where JAVA_HOME was set
grep -r JAVA_HOME /etc/* 2>&1 | grep -v "Permission denied"
grep -r JAVA_HOME ~/.*

JAVA_HOME was being set correctly here:

• /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh
• /etc/profile.d/jdk.csh

But I had set it incorrectly here:

• /etc/environment

The profile.d flavor was loading into my personal login, but the /etc/environment flavor was being used for the dbadmin user.

Fixed it by setting JAVA_HOME in /home/dbadmin/.bashrc

Still getting std::bad_alloc for C++ example

Hi!

Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS is unsupported platform, try 14.04 LTS.

ps: I got same error on 16.04(just checked).

That's disappointing.

Hi Josh,
Hope you are doing well.
I got same error... on CentOS 7.3.... on gcc 7.3.1... and I can load properly with gcc 7.2.1... and it completely unexplainable.
Statement that Ubuntu version is desupported is not relevant here, just a way to send you out.
Try to compile on different box, may be luck will be with you.

Great to hear from you, hope all is well. We should grab a beer soon.

I may try compiling on Ubuntu 14 with the default packages and see if I can get the binary to run on Ubuntu 16.

Reach out to me through LinkedIn.

you need to compile with

CXXFLAGS="-fabi-version=2 -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0"

to disable new ABI of std::string
unless vertica is compiled with modern gcc

tested on ubuntu 16 and debian 9 with vertica binaries compiled on gcc4X

and now with vertica 9 you need to patch sdk (see attachment)
