This usually means a block in the GZIP data was corrupted. It looks like there is an upstream error where a connection timed out, which means incomplete data was received. Incomplete data or truncated file might have caused the GZIP error.
If the source is a file, check the file integrity with "gzip -t " or the test function of a GUI tool like 7Zip, and retry the COPY statement.
Thanks Bryan. This helped. In our case, we have identified a frequent disconnect between our application and vertica cluster. We are looking further into it.
