What could be the possible reason for a 'capacity overflow' error in RisingWave while using the playground setup?

I encountered a 'capacity overflow' error in RisingWave while using the playground setup. The error message was 'thread 'risingwave-main' panicked at 'capacity overflow', library/alloc/src/raw_vec.rs:518:5'. It happened during normal operation, about 20 minutes in, using the official Docker container setup. Could it be related to memory allocation issues?

  • The 'capacity overflow' error in RisingWave could be due to memory allocation issues, especially when using the playground setup which stores everything in memory.
  • Increasing the memory of the VM hosting Docker can help prevent such errors.
  • To avoid OOM errors with large datasets, it is recommended to run RisingWave in a docker compose setup for testing functionalities with relatively large datasets.
