Troubleshooting Document Import Issue with Typesense on Docker

TLDR Harrison experienced an issue with Typesense getting stuck when importing JSONL documents. Harrison offered to provide a copy of the docker volume to aid troubleshooting, but failed to retrieve it. Kishore Nallan recommended observing the local sequence number in the logs.

The logs arent hugely helpful and I realise i've accidentally cleared the ones showing what looks like the issue ๐Ÿ˜ข
But essentially uploading a set of JSONL documents, where on is invalid using: /collections/stackoverflow/documents/import?dirty_values=coerce_or_drop and then doing an abrupt stop in docker, causes typesense to just get stuck trying to recover and it cant?

Have you been able to reproduce the issue?

Are you saying that Typesense server is just stuck and not able to finish loading docs on startup?

unless it did start up correctly, and something else blocked it from being 'ready'

Would It be helpful If I send the docker volume that was causing it to get stuck in the given state?

Thought I had removed it but turns out I haven't :thumbsup: So should be useful to debug

Yes any form of reproduceable artifact is good

The key thing to notice when you get that lag message is to see if the local sequence number in the logs -- to see whether it's increasing.

Just bundling the volume up, it's reasonably chunky at about 6GB so might take a little bit

No worries, it's pretty late here so I'll probably be able to download and look only in the morning.

Fair enough, shall send once it's done (or more likely might go into a blob store)

Sorry, I realise I completely forgot about this ๐Ÿ˜… Unfortunately I wasn't able to retrieve the volume data, something wasn't happy about me trying to copy it across and cleared everything ๐Ÿ˜•
