Hi,
I was trying to restore aerospike cluster from snapshot using asrestore. While restoring I’m getting output as below
Jul 12 2016 09:09:04 GMT: expired 11851 : skipped 0 : attempted 124387967 : [updated 65925966 not-updated (existed 0 gen-old 58462001)]
The not-updated count here is too high, can you help me understanding what gen-old means, what are possible reason for such failure in restore.
Note: To speed up restore i’m providing thread count as 50. I’m also getting lot of err_tsvc_requests
What version of asbackup and asrestore was used?
This output seems to be from a much older version of asrestore, we recommend upgrading to the latest version.
What version is the servers?
Any warnings in the logs?
So the number of gen-old indicates the number of records that had a newer generation on the server then what was in the backup.
For more information see asrestore command-line options | Aerospike Documentation
Basically, if you want to ignore the contents of the DB, you would want to use the --no-generation option and potentially the --replace option.
