[maker-devel] questions on master_datastore_index.log file

[Qihua Liang]

Dear Maker Develop Team,

I have successfully run Maker for several times before. But I came across a strange thing days ago when I ran Maker again on a different assembly with the same input files and settings.

I saw the message of "Maker is now finished!!!” but got empty GFF3 and no fasta files. And then I checked the master_datastore_index.log and realized that there are a lot of “failed”s and “retry”s and “failed” again. What does this mean? Since I used same inputs as previous successful runs, could you provide some instructions on how to debug and solve it?

Thank you so much
Qihua
