Symptoms
Assume that you have a table that has columnstore indexes in Microsoft SQL Server 2014. When you run a parallel query that contains outer join operators against the table, an intra-query deadlock may occur, and you receive the following error message:
Error 1205 Transaction (Process ID n) was deadlocked on generic waitable object resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.
Note This issue only occurs when the max degree of parallelism (MAXDOP) option is set to greater than 1.
