【TiDB Environment】POC
【TiDB Version】6.3.0
【Encountered Issue】ERROR 9012 (HY000): TiFlash server timeout
【Problem Phenomenon and Impact】


tiflash.log (9.0 KB) tidb.log (46.5 KB)

There are outputs on the tidb and tiflash nodes during execution, but there are no outputs in tiflash_tikv.log and tiflash_err.log, so I won’t upload them here.
Before TiFlash became inaccessible, all my virtual machines crashed abnormally. I rebuilt the PD nodes (from 3 to 1), and both tidb and tikv are normal. TiFlash has been working fine before, and there haven’t been any data loading or insertion operations for a long time. Could you please help me figure out what caused this issue?

You can first cancel the synchronization operation of the related tables in TiFlash, then scale down TiFlash, scale it up again, and re-establish the synchronization relationship to see if it works.
