Triggering KB 4462481

Joe Obbish shows how you can recreate the error described in KB 4462481:

Consider a query execution that meets all of the following criteria:

1. A parallel INSERT INTO… SELECT into a columnstore table is performed

2. The SELECT part of the query contains a batch mode hash join

3. The query can’t immediate get a memory grant, hits the 25 second memory grant timeout and executes with required memory

The query may appear to get stuck.
