Intermittent error 'This node is not ready to answer queries yet' in Azure Data Explorer (kusto)

Question

On a 5 node V2 kusto cluster, there are intermittent errors while running both commands and queries:

"This node is not ready to answer queries yet. This is usually a temporary error that occurs while the service is becoming online. Admin service state is: Role=BecomingPrimary"

How to avoid this error altogether, and how long should one wait before retrying?

Answer 1

This error suggests that the database admin node is transitioning - it's a transient state that could occur periodically.

If the issue persists, it could either be a result of over-usage, leading to significant load on the admin node, or a different issue.

If you need assistance with troubleshooting, I would recommend that you open a support request via the Azure portal.
