Sushanth Sowmyan created HIVE-9436: -------------------------------------- Summary: RetryingMetaStoreClient does not retry JDOExceptions Key: HIVE-9436 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9436 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan
RetryingMetaStoreClient has a bug in the following bit of code: {code} } else if ((e.getCause() instanceof MetaException) && e.getCause().getMessage().matches("JDO[a-zA-Z]*Exception")) { caughtException = (MetaException) e.getCause(); } else { throw e.getCause(); } {code} The bug here is that java String.matches matches the entire string to the regex, and thus, that match will fail if the message contains anything before or after JDO[a-zA-Z]\*Exception. The solution, however, is very simple, we should match .\*JDO[a-zA-Z]\*Exception.\* -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
