The wait mechanism does not exceed 120 seconds even when NFS/CIFS servers with ICMP disabled are targeted.
Fixed the issue with alcloader failing which was caused by segmentation.
Fixed the issue with SPU failing which occurred when a table with a materialized view was deleted.

Known issues

nzrestore fails if backup is taken with BUCKET_URL having slashes.

Whenever the nzrestore failure happens with following error:

[Restore Server] : Starting the restore process
[Restore Server] : Operation aborted 
Error: Connector exited with error: 'The specified key does not exist. with address : xx.xxx.xx.xxx'.

Check the backup command and verify whether BUCKET_URL is having slashes as shown in the following example:

BUCKET_URL=bakcupbucket/subdir/
UNIQUE_ID=2024-01-12

WORKAROUND:

Modify BUCKET_URL and UNIQUE_ID as shown:

BUCKET_URL=bakcupbucket 
UNIQUE_ID=subdir/2024-01-12

Note: UNIQUE_ID is a combination of string that is taken from BUCKET_URL after the first slash and actual UNIQUE_ID. Pass these two arguments to the nzrestore command.
