Improve error handling for coprocessor responses

Open goto-bus-stop opened this issue 5 months ago • 3 comments

When a coprocessor returns some invalid data, you now get an HTTP 500 with extension code "EXTERNAL_CALL_ERROR" instead of "INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR", and a slightly improved error message that mentions the coprocessor.

Additionally removes some potential for errors by not deserializing the SDL and the query plan from a coprocessor response.
