Error Messages

  • reference
    +
    The standardized error codes returned by the Couchbase Python SDK, from cloud connection to sub-document.

    All exceptions derive from a common base Couchbase exception. Exceptions (errors) are broken into different classifications:

    • Shared Exceptions — exceptions or errors thrown or returned by any service.

    • Specific Exceptions — exceptions or errors thrown by a service and specific to the service that threw or returned them.

    • Internal Exceptions — exceptions intended to be handled internally by the SDK and not exposed to the application.

    The base exception, CouchbaseException, has two properties — an ErrorContext and an optional Cause. The ErrorContext provides extensive debugging information in JSON format.

    Below are the exceptions, categorised by service.

    Shared Error Definitions

    ID Range: 1-99

    # 1 Timeout

    Raised when a request cannot be completed until the user-defined timeout fires.

    Note, this is a base class for #13 and #14 (Ambiguous and Unambiguous).

    # 2 RequestCanceled

    Raised when a request is cancelled and cannot be resolved in a non-ambiguous way. Most likely the request is in-flight on the socket and the socket gets closed.

    # 3 InvalidArgument

    Raised when it is unambiguously determined that the error was caused because of invalid arguments from the user. Usually only thrown directly when doing request arg validation on KV and sub-doc. Also commonly used as a parent class for many service-specific exceptions (see below).

    # 4 ServiceNotAvailable

    Raised when it can be determined from the config unambiguously that a given service is not available. I.e. no query node in the config, or a memcached bucket is accessed and views or queries should be performed.

    # 5 InternalServerFailure

    Raised when:

    • Query: Error range 5xxx.

    • Analytics: Error range 25xxx.

    • KV: error code ERR_INTERNAL (0x84).

    • Search: HTTP 500.

    # 6 AuthenticationFailure

    Raised when:

    • Query: Error range 10xxx.

    • Analytics: Error range 20xxx.

    • View: HTTP status 401.

    • KV: error code ERR_ACCESS (0x24), ERR_AUTH_ERROR (0x20), AUTH_STALE (0x1f).

    • Search: HTTP status 401, 403.

    # 7 TemporaryFailure

    Raised when:

    • Analytics: Errors: 23000, 23003.

    • KV: Error code ERR_TMPFAIL (0x86), ERR_BUSY (0x85) ERR_OUT_OF_MEMORY (0x82), ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED (0x25).

    # 8 ParsingFailure

    Raised when:

    # 9 CasMismatch

    Raised when:

    • KV: ERR_EXISTS (0x02) when replace or remove with CAS.

    • Query: code 12009.

    # 10 BucketNotFound

    Raised when a request is made but the current bucket is not found.

    # 11 CollectionNotFound

    Raised when a request is made but the current collection (including scope) is not found.

    # 12 UnsupportedOperation

    Raised when:

    • KV: 0x81 (unknown command), 0x83 (not supported).

    # 13 AmbiguousTimeout

    Raised when a timeout occurs and we aren’t sure if the underlying operation has completed. This normally occurs because we sent the request to the server successfully, but timed out waiting for the response. Note that idempotent operations should never return this, as they do not have ambiguity.

    # 14 UnambiguousTimeout

    Raised when a timeout occurs and we are confident that the operation could not have succeeded. This normally would occur because we received confident failures from the server, or never managed to successfully dispatch the operation.

    # 15 FeatureNotAvailable

    Raised when a feature which is not available was used.

    # 16 ScopeNotFound

    Raised when a management API attempts to target a scope which does not exist.

    # 17 IndexNotFound

    Raised when:

    • Query:

    • Analytics: rised when 24047 raised.

    • Search: Http status code 400 AND text contains "index not found".

    # 18 IndexExists

    • Query: Raised when

      • Code 5000 AND message contains Index .+ already exist

      • Code 4300 AND message contains index .+ already exist

    • Analytics: Raised when 24048 raised.

    # 19 EncodingFailure

    Raised when encoding of a user object failed while trying to write it to the cluster.

    # 20 DecodingFailure

    Raised when decoding of the data into the user object failed.
