Read invalid serialized key

[philsv]

Describe the bug

Today I encounter this traceback error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "C:\Users\user\anaconda3\envs\py11\Lib\site-packages\arcticdb\arctic.py", line 342, in list_libraries return self._library_manager.list_libraries() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ arcticdb_ext.exceptions.InternalException: E_ASSERTION_FAILURE Read invalid serialized key

I couldn't find any issue regard this InternalException.

Connecting to the s3 bucket is working but it errors out at ac.list_libraries() - trying to list my libaries.

For example: ac.has_library("equity") returns True so there are libraries in the db but I can't list them somehow

Any hint what might went wrong here?

Steps/Code to Reproduce

ac = Arctic(s3_bucket_uri)
ac.list_libraries()

Expected Results

It should print out the list of my libraries

Hi @philsv, I understand it might be hard to work out now, but do you know the names of all the libraries present in the bucket where the issue is arising? My suspicion is that library names containing certain characters could cause this error. If you have access to a tool like s5cmd then it should be fairly easy to work out the library names using ls.

Hi @alexowens90 thank you for your response.

On one of my libraries I frequently get this warning now when writting data to a symbol.

[2023-12-29 04:44:30.145] [arcticdb] [error] E_ASSERTION_FAILURE Cannot write string symbol name, existing symbols are numeric

[2023-12-29 04:44:30.462] [arcticdb] [warning] Ignoring error while trying to compact the symbol list: E_ASSERTION_FAILURE Cannot write string symbol name, existing symbols are numeric

Could this be related?

I found some symbols with special characters: 'ishares_20+_year_treasury_bond_etf' 's&p_500'

However removing the symbols with the special characters didn't resolve the above warning.

I don't think its because of the library per se as they are all written like e.g. "alternative_data" or "equity".
No numbers or special characters
