MariaDB Error 1159: Communication Packet Timeout
Description
This error indicates that the MariaDB server (or client) failed to receive expected data packets within the allotted time, causing the connection to time out. It typically occurs during data transfers or query execution when network latency, large result sets, or slow processing prevent timely communication.
Error Message
Got timeout reading communication packets
Known Causes
4 known causesSlow Query Execution
Queries or operations that require an extended period to process or return large datasets can exceed the default communication timeout settings.
Network Latency or Congestion
High network latency, packet loss, or network congestion can delay the delivery of data packets between the client and server beyond the configured timeout.
Large Data Transfers
Transferring exceptionally large result sets or performing bulk data operations can take longer than anticipated, leading to a timeout if data cannot be read fast enough.
Insufficient Timeout Settings
The `net_read_timeout` or `wait_timeout` configuration variables on the MariaDB server may be set too low for the typical workload or network conditions.
