When I do batch writes using weaviate spark connector version 1.3.2, after a certain number of records are written, the batch write fails with the error:

io.weaviate.spark.WeaviateResultError: error getting result and no more retries left. Error from Weaviate: [WeaviateErrorMessage(message=error waiting for local schema to catch up to version 257: deadline exceeded for waiting for update: version got=87 want=257, throwable=null)

Hey @Arindom_Bora,

Welcome to the community! 🥳 It’s great to have you with us 🤗

This looks like a simple timeout issue, likely due to some temporary network latency.

Just increase the timeout in your Weaviate connection configuration. Additionally, you can reduce batch a bit in case and it’s always good to have a retry logic.

Let me know if that helps!

Best regards,

Actually, the disc was full in one of the pods, because of which raft wasn’t working properly, had to manually clear it
