The database I'm using crashes a lot recently. And I can't find a decent way to dig into the issue. I looked into mysql error log, but don't know how to start. I know there was a "load data infile" query running when it crashes. Sometimes the table is corrupted so I have to drop it and rebuild, sometimes the table is just fine (both cases are when the "load data infile" is running).
This happened many times and I've recovered the database several times. But it keeps happening and I want to find out the reason and resolve the cause. I've follow the recovery link, and I've tried to search around the failure message. But couldn't figure it out..
So what will you do to find out the crash cause? Is there a guideline? Really appreciate it.

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built, or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware. We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong and this may fail. Please help us make Percona Server better by reporting any bugs at percona bugs webiste (a link was here, I don't have enough reputation to post links yet)
key_buffer_size=33554432
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=6
max_threads=1002
thread_count=3
connection_count=3
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 432019 K bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

This appears to be a regression bug that exists in Percona Server 5.6.14 and possibly some previous versions of 5.6.

It appears it was fixed in Percona Server 5.6.16-64.0:
