Why am I getting "Error: Connection error. Please try again."?

I am running a query which typically does not require "AllowLargeResults" to be set but I am returned the error

"Error: Response too large to return.Job ID: job_i0ZwEeECZWZk7YfpP9BNBYja8oc". 

In response I then enable "AllowLargeResults" and I get

"Error: Connection error. Please try again. Job ID: job_w1aTc8OR94sEw9OJHm_K4vc9C-A". 

The query which produces these errors runs every night and has been working without fail for sometime now. I expect some sort of change the developers made to the product have caused this error.

I'm an engineer on BigQuery. There are two problems:

  1. There is an internal error when using some letter combinations as a table alias name in a join. As a workaround, try using "x" instead of "d" for the alias of the inner-most join. We are investigating.

  2. We have a code path that mistakenly surfaces generic errors, so you are seeing "Connection error" instead of a more descriptive error. We're working to fix that.
