C Client Crash After 4.2.0

Hi, I make a performance test with my program which uses the interface ‘aerospike_batch_read_async’.When the program is overload, it crash at ‘as_event_connection_timeout’, because the param ‘as_event_connection* conn’ of ‘as_event_command* cmd’ is an uninitialized value.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Before 4.1.10, this problem hasn’t happened. Thanks.

We have confirmed that a command can timeout when a connection is not initialized. We are working on a fix.

The workaround is to disable internal retries. Set max_retries = 0 for all of your policies.

C client 4.3.2 should fix your problem.
