Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-7140: -------------------------------------- Doc done. Removing the TODOC14 label. * [Configuration Properties -- hive.metastore.client.socket.timeout | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-hive.metastore.client.socket.timeout] > Bump default hive.metastore.client.socket.timeout to 5 minutes > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-7140 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7140 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.12.0, 0.13.0 > Reporter: Brock Noland > Assignee: Brock Noland > Labels: TODOC14 > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-7140.patch > > > The issue is that OOTB clients often face timeouts when using HMS since many > operations in the HMS completes are long running (e.g. many operations on a > table with many partitions). A few supporting pieces of information: > * The default value of hive.metastore.client.socket.timeout is 20 seconds. > * Since the timeout is client only, the server happy continues doing the > requested work > * Clients retry after a small delay to perform the requested work again, > often while the server is still trying to complete the original request > * A few tests have actually increased this value in order to pass reliably. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
