gRPC 9 FAILED_PRECONDITION vs 15 DATA_LOSS
Both gRPC 9 (FAILED_PRECONDITION) and 15 (DATA_LOSS) belong to the gRPC Status Codes category. 9 indicates that the operation was rejected because the system is not in a state required for the operation's execution. For example, deleting a non-empty directory. Meanwhile, 15 means that unrecoverable data loss or corruption has occurred.
Description
The operation was rejected because the system is not in a state required for the operation's execution. For example, deleting a non-empty directory.
Quand vous le voyez
The request is valid on its own, but the system's current state doesn't allow it — like trying to delete a non-empty directory or update a resource that has been modified concurrently.
Comment résoudre
Bring the system into the required state before retrying. For example, empty the directory first, or re-read the resource to get the latest version before updating.
Description
Unrecoverable data loss or corruption has occurred.
Quand vous le voyez
Critical data was lost or corrupted — for example, a checksum mismatch during transmission or an unrecoverable storage failure on the server.
Comment résoudre
Investigate the data integrity failure immediately. Restore from backups if available, and check for hardware failures or network corruption in the data path.
