Informix - Problem description

Problem IT09888 Status: Closed

INDEX REPACK CAN LOOP ON TWIG PAGES WITH VERY LARGE SETS OF DUPLICATE
VALUES

product:
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10
Problem description:
If an index value occurs very frequently, e.g. multiple ten 
thousand times, repacking this index can get into a loop over 
the (first level) twig pages for this value.  An 'execute 
function task("index repack", "idx_name");' would appear to 
hang, the 'Processed Rows' in 'onstat -g dsk' would grow and 
grow (far beyond the size of the table) and a full CPU would be 
utilized by this (by varying CPU VPs).
