Presto INVALID_QUERY_ID error encountered when executing a query.

The query ID provided is invalid or does not exist.

Understanding Presto and Its Purpose

Presto is a distributed SQL query engine designed for running interactive analytic queries against data sources of all sizes. It is widely used for querying large datasets and is known for its speed and efficiency. Presto allows users to query data where it lives, including Hive, Cassandra, relational databases, or even proprietary data stores.

Identifying the Symptom: INVALID_QUERY_ID

When working with Presto, you might encounter the INVALID_QUERY_ID error. This error typically occurs when you attempt to retrieve information about a query using an ID that Presto does not recognize. This can happen if the query ID is incorrect or if the query has expired and is no longer available in the system.

Exploring the Issue: What Causes INVALID_QUERY_ID?

Understanding Query IDs in Presto

Every query executed in Presto is assigned a unique query ID. This ID is used to track the query's execution and retrieve its status or results. If you provide an invalid or non-existent query ID, Presto will return the INVALID_QUERY_ID error.

Common Scenarios Leading to the Error

This error can occur if you mistype the query ID, use an ID from a different Presto cluster, or attempt to access a query that has been purged from the system due to expiration or system cleanup.

Steps to Fix the INVALID_QUERY_ID Issue

Verify the Query ID

Ensure that the query ID you are using is correct. Double-check the ID for any typographical errors. You can find the correct query ID in the Presto UI or logs where the query was initially executed.

Check Query Expiration

Queries in Presto may expire after a certain period. If you suspect this is the case, try re-running the query to obtain a new query ID. You can adjust the query expiration settings in Presto's configuration if needed. For more information, refer to the Presto Configuration Properties.

Ensure Correct Cluster Usage

Make sure you are querying the correct Presto cluster. Query IDs are unique to each cluster, and using an ID from a different cluster will result in an INVALID_QUERY_ID error.
