LOAD_SOURCES

Like LOAD_STREAMS, monitors active and historical load metrics on each node.

Like LOAD_STREAMS, monitors active and historical load metrics on each node. The LOAD_SOURCES table breaks information down by source and portion. Rows appear in this table only for COPY operations that are profiled or run for more than one second. LOAD_SOURCES does not record information about loads from ORC or Parquet files or COPY LOCAL.

A row is added to this table when the loading of a source or portion begins. Column values related to the progress of the load are updated during the load operation.

Columns that uniquely identify the load source (the various ID and name columns) and column IS_EXECUTING always have non-NULL values.

Column Name Data Type Description
SESSION_ID VARCHAR Identifier of the session for which Vertica captures load stream information. This identifier is unique within the cluster for the current session but can be reused in a subsequent session.
TRANSACTION_ID INTEGER Identifier for the transaction within a session. If a session is active, but no transaction has begun, this value is NULL.
STATEMENT_ID INTEGER Unique numeric ID for the currently running statement. NULL indicates that no statement is currently being processed. The combination of TRANSACTION_ID, STATEMENT_ID uniquely identifies a statement within a session.
STREAM_NAME VARCHAR

Load stream identifier. If the user does not supply a specific name, the STREAM_NAME default value is tablename-ID, where:

  • tablename is the table into which data is being loaded.

  • ID is an integer value. ID is guaranteed to be unique within the current session on a node.

This system table includes stream names for every COPY statement that takes more than 1 second to run. The 1-second duration includes the time to plan and execute the statement.

SCHEMA_NAME VARCHAR Schema name for which load information is listed. Lets you identify two streams that are targeted at tables with the same name in different schemas. NULL, if selecting from an external table.
TABLE_OID INTEGER A unique numeric ID assigned by the Vertica catalog that identifies the table. NULL, if selecting from an external table.
TABLE_NAME VARCHAR Name of the table being loaded. NULL, if selecting from an external table.
NODE_NAME VARCHAR Name of the node loading the source.
SOURCE_NAME VARCHAR

  • Full file path if copying from a file.

  • Value returned by getUri() if the source is a user-defined source.

  • STDIN if loading from standard input.

PORTION_OFFSET INTEGER Offset of the source portion, or NULL if not apportioned.
PORTION_SIZE INTEGER Size of the source portion, or NULL if not apportioned.
IS_EXECUTING BOOLEAN Whether this source is currently being parsed, where t is true and f is false.
READ_BYTES INTEGER Number of bytes read from the input file.
ROWS_PRODUCED INTEGER Number of rows produced from parsing the source.
ROWS_REJECTED INTEGER Number of rows rejected from parsing the source. If CopyFaultTolerantExpressions is true, also includes rows rejected during expression evaluation.
INPUT_SIZE INTEGER Size of the input source in bytes, or NULL for unsized sources. For UDSources, this value is the value returned by getSize().
PARSE_COMPLETE_PERCENT INTEGER Percent of rows from the input file that have been parsed.
FAILURE_REASON VARCHAR

Indicates cause for failure, one of the following:

  • Load source aborted, error message indicates cause. For example: COPY: Could not open file [filename] for reading; Permission denied
  • Load canceled, displays error message: Statement interrupted

In all other cases, set to NULL.

PEAK_COOPERATING_THREADS INTEGER The peak number of threads parsing this source in parallel.
CLOCK_TIME_SOURCE INTEGER Displays in real-time how many microseconds (µs) have been consumed by the UDSource phase of a load operation.
CLOCK_TIME_FILTERS INTEGER Displays in real-time how many microseconds (µs) have been consumed by all UDFilter phases of a load operation.
CLOCK_TIME_CHUNKER INTEGER Displays in real-time how many microseconds (µs) have been consumed by the UDChunker phase of a load operation.
CLOCK_TIME_PARSER INTEGER Displays in real-time how many microseconds (µs) have been consumed by the UDParser phase of a load operation.

Non-superuser: No explicit privileges required. You only see records for tables that you have privileges to view.
