Known Causes
4 known causesCorrupt Table Data or Dump File
The data within the dump file or the existing table may be corrupted or contain inconsistencies that prevent successful index construction.
Insufficient System Resources
The MariaDB server or the underlying system may lack sufficient memory, temporary disk space, or other resources required to complete the index rebuild operation.
Invalid Table Definition
The table's schema definition (DDL) in the dump file might be incorrect, incompatible with the target MariaDB version, or contain syntax errors.
Lack of Disk Space
