Investigating
Current status: We've determined that a directory issue within the components of the metadata store responsible for facilitating the impacted tasks is preventing some task records from being read consistently, which is causing the task failures. We're working to identify the origin of the directory issue to assist us in restoring normal task execution. We'll provide another update within 1 hour.
