Cause (Documented platform behavior): The client pauses the batch loop on server OOM/shutdown/hangup signals and raises if the stream is not re-established in time.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Long ingestion jobs stop with a failed-to-reestablish error after pausing.
- Context
- Product: Weaviate Python client v4 Component: Server-side batching (gRPC stream) Operation: Bulk ingest while the Weaviate server hits memory pressure or restarts Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: weaviate.exceptions.WeaviateBatchFailedToReestablishStreamError Packages: weaviate-client 4.24.x (main at pinned SHA) Trigger: Server signals OOM/shutdown and does not come back within the client wait window.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Weaviate Python client] Batch aborted after server OOM: "Batch stream was not re-established within N seconds after an OOM message. Terminating batch."
Recommended action: Give the Weaviate server more memory (or reduce vector index memory, e.g. quantization), lower ingest concurrency/batch size, and make ingestion resumable using deterministic UUIDs.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
