monetdb remote table: cannot register - monetdb

Question

I have two nodes and am attempting to create a remote table.  To set up I do the following:
on each host:
$ monetdbd create /opt/mdbdata/dbfarm
$ monetdbd set listenaddr=0.0.0.0 /opt/mdbdata/dbfarm
$ monetdbd start /opt/mdbdata/dbfarm
On the first host:
$ monetdb create w0
$ monetdb release w0
On second:
$ monetdb create mst
$ monetdb release mst
$ mclient -u monetdb -d mst
password:
Welcome to mclient, the MonetDB/SQL interactive terminal (Dec2016-SP4)
Database: MonetDB v11.25.21 (Dec2016-SP4), 'mapi:monetdb://nkcdev11:50000/mst'
Type \q to quit, \? for a list of available commands
auto commit mode: on
sql>create table usr ( id integer not null, name text not null );
operation successful (0.895ms)
sql>insert into usr values(1,'abc'),(2,'def');
2 affected rows (0.845ms)
sql>select * from usr;

|    2 | def  |
+------+------+
2 tuples (0.652ms)

On first:
$ mclient -u monetdb -d w0

$
$ monetdb discover
             location

Can anyone nudge me in the right direction?
[EDIT - Solved]
The problem was self-inflicted, the remote table name must be exactly the same as the local table name, I had usr_rmt as the remote table name.

Answer 1

at first sight what you are trying to do ought to work.
Recently, I had similar problems with remote table access, though that was with the non-released version, see bug 6289. (The MonetDB version number mentioned in that bug report is incorrect.) What you are experiencing may or may not be the same underlying issue.
After the weekend I will check if I can reproduce your example on, on -SP4 and on the development version.
