LostConnectionError during a long-duration make

[arturoptophys]

Bug Report

Description

I"m running some longer (several hours) calculations (spikesorting) in the make of a table, occasionally I get LostConnectionError: Connection was lost during a transaction, although everything ran correctly. Before I also get [WARNING]: MySQL server has gone away. Reconnecting to the server.

In the make I have only a single insert call. I assume the transaction is started when call to make is made? Solution at the moment is to call populate again and load the processed files instead of generating them.

Reproducibility

• Linux 6.5.0-45-generic Add json to requirements.txt as well #45~22.04.1-Ubuntu
• Python 3.10
• datajoint 0.14.3

Difficult to reliably reproduce as it doesn't always occur and seem to depend on a re connection happening during make call.

Expected Behavior

Make should handle long calculations and potential re connection during this time.

Additional Research and Context

not sure if this is related issue #896
