Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-5794: ------------------------------------- > LOG.warn("Error starting HiveServer2 on attempt " + attempts, throwable); It will be useful to indicate in the warning message that it will retry starting in x seconds. > Thread.sleep(60L * 100L); Did you mean 60L*1000L ? ie, 60 seconds ? <description>This number of times HiveServer2 will attempt to start before exiting.</description> Can you also mention the delay between retries here ? That will give an indication of how long the retries will be happening. Did you mean the default waiting period to be 2.4 hours or 24 hours ? > HiveServer2 should retry startup > -------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5794 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5794 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.13.0 > Reporter: Brock Noland > Assignee: Brock Noland > Attachments: HIVE-5794.patch > > > On startup the CLIService attempts to create scratch directories. If that > fails, e.g. because the nn is also starting, HS2 fails to start. We should > retry this operation this a few times with sleeps. > It might be preferable todo this directly in HS2 main so that we can catch > all errors. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
