This alert indicates that no barrier has been committed in your project for longer than the configured threshold. Data freshness can be affected while barriers remain pending.

​
Common triggers

  • Streaming graph bottlenecks. Typical causes include join amplification, insufficient resources, and suboptimal streaming queries such as over-window queries and joins.
  • Compaction write stalls that result in longer barrier synchronization times.

​
Diagnosis

  • Check CPU and memory utilization for all nodes. If the nodes are fully utilized, the project might have insufficient resources.
  • Run SHOW JOBS and check for jobs that are being created. Backfilling a newly created job can increase pressure on the project.

​
Resolution

If node resources are fully utilized or a backfill is running, scale out the project to alleviate the pressure. For more information, see Scale a project manually.
