Xuefu Zhang created HIVE-16854: ---------------------------------- Summary: SparkClientFactory is locked too aggressively Key: HIVE-16854 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16854 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Spark Affects Versions: 1.1.0 Reporter: Xuefu Zhang
Most methods in SparkClientFactory are synchronized on the SparkClientFactory singleton. However, some methods are very expensive, such as createClient(), which returns a SparkClientImpl instance. However, creating a SparkClientImpl instance requires starting a remote driver to connect back to RPCServer. This process can take a long time such as in case of a busy yarn queue. When this happens, all pending calls on SparkClientFactory will have to wait for a long time. In our case, hive.spark.client.server.connect.timeout is set to 1hr. This makes some queries waiting for hours before starting. The current implementation seems pretty much making all remote driver launches serialized. If one of them takes time, the following ones will have to wait. HS2 stacktrace is attached for reference. It's based on earlier version of Hive, so the line numbers might be slightly off. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
