Description

Doing an import to a table which uses columnar Manticore crashes with message `Crash!!! Handling signal 11`. (SIGSEGV) No further details in query log and it is not related to a specific document. The import always crashes after a few seconds however. I have imported much larger tables with success.

The issue seems to be related to a `multi64` field (which i did not use with the successful tables). When i set `engine='rowwise'` on this field, the issue goes away and i can import the full table.

Global config options on the table are: `engine='columnar' dict='keywords' expand_keywords='1' index_exact_words='1' min_infix_len='3'`

Im on the latest Manticore release 6.0.4 and it's in docker.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the import against a columnar table containing a multi64 field in the reported Docker setup, then compare it with the rowwise workaround. Investigate the import path and existing tests for multi64 and columnar storage; done means the import completes without SIGSEGV while retaining columnar storage.
