If you suspect this could be a bug, follow the template.

What version of Dgraph are you using?

Dgraph v1.1.0-rc1

Have you tried reproducing the issue with latest release?

Dgraph v1.1.0-rc1 is the latest release

What is the hardware spec (RAM, OS)?

16 GB RAM, WIndows 10 v1903, slow HD

Steps to reproduce the issue (command/config used to run Dgraph).

• Download Dgraph v1.1.0-rc1 windows version
• Start in empty directory
• Run dgraph alpha --lru_mb 2048 --zero localhost:5080 --port_offset 200
• Run dgraph.exe zero
• Run dgraph-ratel.exe
• Open ratel
• Alter the schema based on this https://tour.dgraph.io/master/moredata/1/#
• Get https://github.com/dgraph-io/tutorial/tree/master/resources/1million.rdf.gz
• Extract the zip file
• Run .\dgraph.exe live -f .\1million.rdf -a localhost:9280

Expected behaviour and actual result.

Expected that the live loading works fine.

@dodyg I'm not sure about your logs, It seems okay to me. Are you having some other issue? After the live load are you able to use it?

[gugahoa]

A user at Slack kindly explained that the error is caused by following along the Tour of DGraph for version 1.0.16 while running the master branch locally. The same error I was receiving got solved by changing the Tour of DGraph version to master.

[MichelDiz]

Yeah, @gugahoa It was me. His case seems to be different, but his logs don't help.

[MichelDiz]

Oh, just found his comment in discuss with the logs I needed
So I can confirm that I can reproduce the issue. But is recommended to use Docker for now. Because Dgraph is aimed at UNIX systems. There must be something about the Windows file system.

[dodyg]

The loading of live data works well in Dgraph v1.0.16 as far as I remember.

[dodyg]

I tried it with https://discuss.dgraph.io/t/dgraph-v1-1-0-rc2-release-candidate/4954 (RC2) and same problem.

[MichelDiz]

We are checking this, this seems to be related to BadgerDB and the Windows System File. So it need to be solved there first. In this case you could use, until the fix, the Docker version.
