Re: Error on CLUSTER command

The number may change pointing to another index or stay the same.
The error persists if I repeat 3 or 4 times. Usually after the
4th or 5th time the cluster is successful.

What is the risk of performing an upgrade to 7.4.19?

If you repeat the command, does the error persist? Does the number
stay the same?

Tsk tsk. Why not 7.4.19, or at least some reasonably recent 7.4.x
update?
