PG::ConnectionBad: PQsocket() can't get socket descriptor: ROLLBACK

[ajparise]

Our app opens a cursor which can run for hours at a time.
On the longer runs (7+ hours) the cursor occasionally errors out with:

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid
PG::ConnectionBad: PQsocket() can't get socket descriptor: ROLLBACK

I am trying to rule this gem out as the culprit. I'm not sure if this is masking a different error.
Should we be passing with_hold: true in the options?

Here is a snippet of the cursor loop:

# BATCH_SIZE = 10_000
 records.each_instance(block_size: BATCH_SIZE) { |record| @handler.call(record) }

Couple things that may or may not be pertinent:

• We tried upgrading to 0.6.7 and see the same behavior
• The records returned by the cursor have associations on them.
• App makes other read only ActiveRecord calls within the block passed to #each_instance
  • these read only calls do not access the same table as the cursor

+1 we're having the same issue but only in production.

After some investigations, seems like the issue in our case is related to the query being run against replica postgresql server, fixed by setting this 2 config lines in postgresql.conf:

max_standby_archive_delay = 600s 
max_standby_streaming_delay = 600s
