GENERIC_INTERNAL_ERROR

Error message

GENERIC_INTERNAL_ERROR

What it means

Internal-error sentinel from invokeGetResult: invoking the comparison-result transformation MethodHandle threw an unexpected Throwable (not an Error or PrestoException). It is rethrown as GENERIC_INTERNAL_ERROR — this indicates an engine bug or corrupted generated operator, not user input.

Solutions

1. Report as a Presto bug with the query and stack trace
2. Check for mismatched decimal comparison operator bindings in custom plugins
3. Retry the query on a clean cluster to rule out JIT/generated-code corruption
