SERVER_STARTING_UP

Error message

Presto server is still initializing

What it means

Sentinel error produced by InternalResourceGroupManager's InitializingConfigurationManager, a placeholder configuration manager active only while the coordinator is starting up. Any query submission attempt during that window is rejected until the real resource group configuration manager loads.

Solutions

1. Wait for coordinator startup to finish and resubmit the query
2. Check coordinator logs or the /v1/info endpoint to confirm the server becomes active
3. If it persists, verify the resource group manager plugin configuration at startup
