empty table after shutdown one of cluster nodes

aleksss55aleksss55 Community Edition User

Hello. I have a cluster from 3 nodes. There is a table mytable. There are some records in the table. This records are displayed correctly with select * from mytable;
I shutdown one of cluster nodes and table mytable becomes empty. Why is that?

    Is this k-safe cluster?
    Run the below query to check segment_expression
    select * from projections where projection_name ilike '%mytable%';
    Can you also export the table definition
    select export_objects('', 'mytable');

    Yes, I have k-safe cluster.
    Below is the output of the command select * from projections where projection_name ilike '%my%';

    test=> select * from projections where projection_name ilike '%my%';

    But when I run select * from my;
    I get empty table

    (No rows)

    When your query, initially, showed 'some' rows:
    Were you logged in with VSQL, and had you inserted the rows in the same transaction?
    If you insert a bunch of rows into a table using VSQL, and you don't commit before logging off, these rows will disappear.
    If you commit, however, the new rows will immediately become visible to everyone - and I can-t imagine a situation where they would go away just because of a database restart ...

    Let me demo what I explain above:

    I start VSQL, create a table, then I insert 3 rows. A SELECT * FROM that table will return 3 rows.
    Then, I log off without committing.
    When I log in again , and again SELECT * FROM that table, the table is empty.

    @aleksss55, follow the suggestion provided by marcothesane. If it's still have a problem can you log a case with support. In the case provide detail information with example like how you inserting the data to the table? Are you using copy, insert commit etc..
