Problem
We’ve seen several cases come in lately where customers have been trying to use PolyBase feature and encountering « Failed to generate query plan » error. Depending on which command you run, the error will display differently.
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE or CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE command fails with:
Msg 110813, Level 16, State 1, Line 21
100001;Failed to generate query plan.
SELECT from an existing external table fails with:
Msg 7320, Level 16, State 110, Line 1
Cannot execute the query « Remote Query » against OLE DB provider « MSOLEDBSQL » for linked server « (null) ». 100001;Failed to generate query plan.
