Minor - P4 Hi!
We found that when WT is unable to create threads on DB open it crashes instead of returning proper error.
Can be demonstrated by setting low limit on number of user processes:
$ ulimit -Su 31 $ ./ex_access [1594723756:796801][5085:0x7f543e4e1740], eviction-server: __wt_thread_create, 33: pthread_create: Resource temporarily unavailable [1594723756:807185][5085:0x7f543e4e1740], connection: __thread_group_resize, 236: Error while resizing thread group: Resource temporarily unavailable [1594723756:807220][5085:0x7f543e4e1740], connection: __wt_panic, 494: the process must exit and restart: WT_PANIC: WiredTiger library panic Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Under GDB:
