             Summary: Hive notifications serialize all write DDL operations
                 Key: HIVE-18940
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18940
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Metastore
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: Alexander Kolbasov


The implementation of DbNotificationListener uses a single row to store current 
notification ID and uses {{SELECT FOR UPDATE}} to lock the row. This serializes 
all write DDL operations which isn't good.

We should consider using database auto-increment for notification ID instead. 
Especially on mMySQL/innoDb it is supported natively with relatively 
light-weight locking. 

This creates potential issue for consumers though because such IDs may have 
holes. There are two types of holes - transient hole for a transaction which 
have not committed yet and will be committed shortly and permanent holes for 
transactions that fail. Consumers need to deal with it. It may be useful to add 
DB-generated timestamp as well to assist in recovery from holes.
