Symptoms
When you run an UPDATE statement on a table that has a clustered columnstore index (CCI) in Microsoft SQL Server 2016, you may receive an assertion error that resembles the following:
Location: "bpbatch.cpp":240
Expression: (BP_VECTOR_ID)(iNew + 1) == iNew + 1
SPID: 55
Process ID: 1556
Msg 3624, Level 20, State 1, Line 1
A system assertion check has failed. Check the SQL Server error log for details. Typically, an assertion failure is caused by a software bug or data corruption. To check for database corruption, consider running DBCC CHECKDB. If you agreed to send dumps to Microsoft during setup, a mini dump will be sent to Microsoft. An update might be available from Microsoft in the latest Service Pack or in a Hotfix from Technical Support.
Msg 596, Level 21, State 1, Line 0
Cannot continue the execution because the session is in the kill state.
Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
