This is an error message from sqlite3. There may be a limitation or problem with the underlying file system that is causing the database to be locked. Try running it in a different directory.

I'm having the same issue on mac os, the lock is not removed.

@junjiejiangjjj is there anything we can do here?

I have run the script thousands of times on both Mac and Ubuntu, and I have not been able to reproduce this issue.
