The following errors are common when accessing data in a share.
Resource limit exceeded errors
Issue: Your query on a shared table returns the error RESOURCE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
.
You may see either of these errors:
"RESOURCE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED","message":"The table metadata size exceeded limits"
"RESOURCE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED","message":"The number of files in the table to return exceeded limits, consider contact your provider to optimize the table"
Possible causes: There are limits on the number of files in metadata allowed for a shared table.
