Managing load streams

You can use system table LOAD_STREAMS to monitor data as it is loaded on your cluster.

You can use system table LOAD_STREAMS to monitor data as it is loaded on your cluster. Several columns in this table showmetrics for each load stream on each node, including the following:

Column name Value...
ACCEPTED_ROW_COUNT Increases during parsing, up to the maximum number of rows in the input file.
PARSE_COMPLETE_PERCENT

Remains zero (0) until all named pipes return an EOF. While COPY awaits an EOF from multiple pipes, it can appear to be hung. However, before canceling the COPY statement, check your system CPU and disk accesses to determine if any activity is in progress.

In a typical load, the PARSE_COMPLETE_PERCENT value can either increase slowly or jump quickly to 100%, if you are loading from named pipes or STDIN.

SORT_COMPLETE_PERCENT Remains at 0 when loading from named pipes or STDIN. After PARSE_COMPLETE_PERCENT reaches 100 percent, SORT_COMPLETE_PERCENT increases to 100 percent.

Depending on the data sizes, a significant lag can occur between the time PARSE_COMPLETE_PERCENT reaches 100 percent and the time SORT_COMPLETE_PERCENT begins to increase.
