---------------------------------
Summary: Hive Metastore should use repeatable-read consistency
level
Key: HIVE-14907
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14907
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Metastore
Affects Versions: 2.2.0
Reporter: Lenni Kuff
Currently HMS uses the "read-committed" consistency level which is the default
for DataNucleus. This could cause potential problems since the state visible to
each transaction can actually see updates from other transactions, so it is
very difficult to reason about any code that reads multiple pieces of data.
Instead it should use "repeatable-read" consistency which guarantees that any
transaction only sees the state at the beginning of a transaction plus any
updates done within a transaction.
