[basex-talk] Abnormal long running query

Hi all,

I have BaseX version 8.3 running on Ubuntu and Tomcat. Up till recently eveything was running nice and reliable. Lately however I see some queries, that otherwise may take a few seconds to complete, to run abnormally long. So long that they will eventually cause Tomcat, and thus BaseX, to stop running. In the BaseX log I can locate these queries. One had an execution time of a whopping 156096,382 seconds ... (!)

My questions: 1. What can cause BaseX to take so long to run a query that otherwise takes just a few seconds? 2. Is there a way (configuration option) to set a timeout for queries run as admin? From the documentation I conclude that admin operations are never timed out. But the query that ran so long is just a read query. No updates or insertions are performed. So why was it not timed out?

Thanks in advance.

Paul
