We are seeing these "ERROR: unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for
toast value 1498303849 in pg_toast_10919630" in increasing numbers again¹.
An observation is that they seem to only happen for tsvector fields.
Here is an example sequence of queries for a record (we have more than a
handful of these currently), which exhibits the problem.
First we get two other fields, 'sequence' is large enough to be toast'ed:
2018-01-16 08:51:17.362 efam=# select id,sequence from efam.sequence where id = 164504550;
Time: 1.150 ms
No problem.
Then we also fetch the tsvector field:
2018-01-16 08:51:27.773 efam=# select id,sequence,fts from efam.sequence where id = 164504550;
ERROR: unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast value 1498303849 in pg_toast_10919630
Time: 0.912 ms
And we get the error.
Getting the id and the tsvector:
2018-01-16 08:51:34.174 efam=# select id,fts from efam.sequence where id = 164504550;
ERROR: unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast value 1498303849 in pg_toast_10919630
Time: 6.138 ms
gives the error.
Just getting the tsvector:
2018-01-16 08:51:40.066 efam=# select fts from efam.sequence where id = 164504550;
ERROR: unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast value 1498303849 in pg_toast_10919630
Time: 1.805 ms
Gives the error.
Field definitions:
id | integer |
sequence | text |
fts | tsvector |
Maybe the observation that this only happens (for us) on tsvector rings
a bell for someone?
