Large inserts fail

[lutter]

With the changes from #2223, we can hit the Postgres limit on the number of bind variables that can be used in one statement. That limit is 65535 parameters. We need to change the code that generates the insert/update/delete statements to break such large changes into multiple statements.

@lutter just had this error too in juanmardefago/loopring36 -> QmWdU7R2QyTV71wZ8z1R8d75bWyLWz4jHLXeoWnzah27zT

A Discord user reported that this error showed up in 0.25.2. The error message was:

Error while processing block stream for a subgraph: store error: number of parameters must be between 0 and 65535    

Here we define the chunk size and add one extra slot for the block_range column, but I'm pretty sure we bind other columns as well, like vid.

The fix I'm imagining would involve adding +2 or +3 to the denominator part of that division to account for all the extra bindings.

@tilacog is this issue still live?

[tilacog]

@azf20 I believe it is. Although, I haven't heard from other users about it since it was reopened.

Hi @tilacog, I'm still face the same issue, Are there any potential solutions?

[lutter]

@hangleang is this a subgraph in the hosted service? If so, which one?

[hangleang]

Hi @lutter, yes, it is. the problem got fixed after I remove fullTextSearch from subgraph, seems like it cause the problem

@lutter just ran into the same issue for the Geo subgraph

Any pointers would be appreciated

@makeitrein Thanks for the reproducer - I figured out why this is happening, and am working on a fix.

I also noticed that at the failing block 36472865, the subgraph writes enormous amounts of data. The JSON dump of the changes at that block that I took for debugging is ~ 700MB, and it seems most of it is for LogEntry (~ 400MB) and Triple (~ 300 MB) I'll see how big that is in the database once I fix the bug, but it is a huge amount of data for one block.

Thx for the quick reply! We're using a CSV to populate the initial data set, I'll see if we can explore chunking that out over a few hundred blocks.

I just wasn't sure if this was going to be an ongoing thing - doing this once to load initial data should be no problem (it'll take several minutes to process that block, but that should be fine)

It would be good to be able to create this many entities in a single block w/ fulltext search. We're disabling fulltext search for now but would love to get it back in when possible.
