Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I sometimes get this while running a drush command.
my innodb wait timeout is set high at 150 so I dont think that's the error.
PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1205 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction: SELECT 1 AS expression
FROM
{variable} variable
WHERE ( (name = :db_condition_placeholder_0) ) FOR UPDATE; Array
(
[:db_condition_placeholder_0] => cache_flush_cache_views
)
in MemCacheDrupal->variable_set() (line 397 of modules/all/memcache/memcache.inc).

PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1205 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction: UPDATE {node} SET vid=:db_update_placeholder_0, type=:db_update_placeholder_1, language=:db_update_placeholder_2, title=:db_update_placeholder_3, uid=:db_update_placeholder_4, status=:db_update_placeholder_5, created=:db_update_placeholder_6, changed=:db_update_placeholder_7, comment=:db_update_placeholder_8, promote=:db_update_placeholder_9, sticky=:db_update_placeholder_10, tnid=:db_update_placeholder_11, translate=:db_update_placeholder_12 WHERE (nid = :db_condition_placeholder_0) ; Array (...) in drupal_write_record() (line 7202 of <drupal_root>/includes/common.inc).Drupal 7.32

I had updated the blog post, saved and logged out. Then about 30 minutes later, the user attempted to update the blog post when this error occurred.
