### Description

Hi,  
When the weaviate sever is deployed, in the first 15 minutes if we perform a hybrid search, we are getting this error from weaviate:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/app/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/weaviate/collections/grpc/query.py", line 649, in \_\_call res, \_ = self.\_connection.grpc\_stub.Search.with\_call( File "/app/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/grpc/\_channel.py", line 1198, in with\_call return \_end\_unary\_response\_blocking(state, call, True, None) File "/app/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/grpc/\_channel.py", line 1006, in \_end\_unary\_response\_blocking raise \_InactiveRpcError(state) # pytype: disable=not-instantiable grpc.\_channel.\_InactiveRpcError: \<\_InactiveRpcError of RPC that terminated with: \tstatus = StatusCode.UNAVAILABLE \tdetails = "sendmsg: Socket operation on non-socket (88)" \tdebug\_error\_string = "UNKNOWN:

This is getting resolved in next 15-20 minutes on its own but what is the reason for this error and how to resolve this?

I am getting error at this line :  
collection.query.hybrid(\*\*hybrid\_params).objects

This is how the client is created:  
weaviate\_connection\_config = AdditionalConfig(  
connection=ConnectionConfig(  
session\_pool\_connections=20,  
session\_pool\_maxsize=20,  
),  
timeout=(  
60,180),  
)  
client = weaviate.connect\_to\_custom(  
http\_host=url,  
http\_port=8080,  
http\_secure=False,  
grpc\_host=url,  
grpc\_port=50051,  
grpc\_secure=False,  
additional\_config=weaviate\_connection\_config,  
)

### Server Setup Information

- Weaviate Server Version: 1.23.7
- Deployment Method: docker
- Multi Node? Number of Running Nodes: 1
- Client Language and Version:4.6.5

TIA.

hi @swetag !!

Do you see any logs in the server side?

Also, do you have any readings on resource and have you tweaked any of the parameters as stated in [Resource Planning](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/concepts/resources)?

1.23.7 is fairly “old”. 😬

Is it possible to test this on latest version?

Hi @DudaNogueira,

1. No logs on the server side.
2. These are the resource related env variables for weaviate.  
LIMIT\_RESOURCES: true  
GOMEMLIMIT: 7680MiB  
QUERY\_MAXIMUM\_RESULTS: 1000000  
DISK\_USE\_READONLY\_PERCENTAGE: 95
3. I had to use this version because most of the 1.24.x, 1.25.x, 1.26.0 (all of which I tried) are leading me to [this](https://forum.weaviate.io/t/weaviate-not-backing-up-for-a-long-time/3116) issue, but 1.23.7 is not.  
Additionally, I was also getting the same behavior with 1.25.6

Do you still have this kind of issue even when allocating more memory from the host?

Is this cluster exposed somehow, for example, using a load balancer, or is the client connecting directly to the server within the same docker network?
