Hello!

Do you have a large table in database - with 600-700 000 000 records (or
with size = 36.6Gb)?
It may be one of the reasons of this error.

Also, if you drop table when multiple user are connected (especially on
Classic) this may be result of interception between actual on-disc data
and cached metadata.

Sincerely yours,
Alexey Kovyazin
