Subsequent retries result in the same behaviour.
Explanation
This error will occur when there are no namespaces defined in aerospike.conf. The function as_sindex__defrag_fn is the first function which tries to access the namespace array to do garbage collection, this happens whether there are secondary indexes configured or not.
Solution
Complete the namespace stanza in /opt/aerospike/aerospike.conf with a test namespace. If there are running nodes in the cluster the namespace definitions must match for the node in question to join the cluster.
Notes
