VerticaCopyStream appears to be hanging or waiting indefenitly
Hi,
VerticaCopyStream appears to be hanging or waiting indefenitly in start/execute method calls when using IO stream.
In my case I am using PipedIOStream(PipedInputStream & PipedOutputStream) to stream the data from my program to vertica continously. Interestingly, the program is working fine if I close the Out stream; so it looks like Vertica calls waits till the stream to be closed to consume data. I even tried flushing the stream; but not of any help.
Regards,

I'll take a shot in the dark here...
Experienced "hanging" behavior when COPYing into Vertica from AWS S3 via a third-party tool called S3FS.
S3FS tries to make AWS S3 look like a conventional file system, and it succeeds but only to a degree.
When doing huge loads S3FS choked from all the multi-threading, making it look superficially like COPY was hanging. To be clear, the problem was S3FS, not Vertica's COPY.
Perhaps your scenario bears some resemblance to this?
