Error description

  • An instance configured with loopback replication and a repl2sp
    replicate using the --jsonsplname option
    that starts spooling can lead to its CDRNsT2 thread stuck
    continually looping looking for a transaction
    over and over in same sblob.
    
    The CDRNsT2 thread will yield and can migrate to different CPU
    VPs but it will continue to run.
    
    If you pstack your CPU VPs you will catch the CDRNsT2 thread
    with various stacks but always with stack
    foundations that look like:
    #7  0x0000000001210e2e in rqmGetBuffer ()
    #8  0x00000000011ed2ca in queuerGetMessage ()
