Got this error when ingesting:

Failed to ingest data, error[usage error (500): 
{"error":[{"message":"update vector: unmarshal response body: invalid character 'e' looking for beginning of value"}]}]

What does it mean? What could be the cause?

Hi!

Do you see this issue also if using 1.25.latest?

for instance: 1.25.34

Thanks!

Hi! I’m using WCS, do you suggest that I update the instance?

I’ve updated to 1.28.8, will post here if the issue is encountered again, but I’m curious why the error has happened

Hi Luka!

For all hosted clusters, the best place for a faster support is opening a support ticket here:

This will allow us to directly access your cluster logs and metrics.

Can you share the entire stack trace?

I have seen this kind of error on old versions of Weaviate, and happening due to Weaviate not handling vectorizer or generative 5XX error response.

So most probably your vectorizer failed (considering it was on ingestion), and Weaviate have not presented the error message on a readable way (apart from the " [usage error (500)…]"

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks!
