Mithun Radhakrishnan commented on HIVE-5290:
--------------------------------------------
Hey, I've a dumb question about the synchronized block in HCatContext.setConf().
setConf() is a synchronized method on a singleton instance. How does the
synchronized(conf){} block protect the iteration? Where exactly is conf being
updated?
1. It can't be protection from modification within this function (because the
method synchronized).
2. If it's external to this function, do we know that that code is synchronized
on the same conf?
