anyhow::Error

Error message

anyhow::Error

What it means

The `Internal` variant wraps any `anyhow::Error` transparently into the scheduler's `BatchError`. It is a catch-all for internal, unexpected errors that are not modeled as a dedicated variant (e.g. `anyhow!` bail sites inside the scheduler). Because it is `#[error(transparent)]`, the displayed message is whatever the inner anyhow error carried.

Solutions

  1. Inspect the inner anyhow message for the concrete failure and follow the fix for that specific message.
  2. Check the RisingWave log for the accompanying backtrace to locate the bail site.
  3. Retry the query if the cause is a transient race (e.g. table dropped concurrently).
  4. If reproducible, file an issue — an `Internal` error usually indicates an unexpected state the scheduler does not model.
Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Try / catch

// Match on the transparent inner variant
if let BatchError::Internal(anyhow_err) = &err {
    log::error!("scheduler internal error: {anyhow_err:#}");
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Any `?` on a fallible operation inside frontend scheduler code that produces an `anyhow::Error`, e.g. `SchedulerError::Internal(anyhow!(...))` raised by plan fragmentation, split assignment, or snapshot/epoch resolution code paths in src/frontend/src/scheduler/.

Common situations: Running distributed queries where an invariant is broken mid-scheduling (unexpected plan shape, missing stage ids, dropped tables between plan and schedule). Often surfaces during plan fragmenter failures or snapshot query planning.
