no atomicity for a reader/writer for a job
------------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-829
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-829
             Project: Hadoop Hive
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Query Processor
            Reporter: Namit Jain


Hive currently does not provide any atomicity for a reader/writer.

So, if a reader/writer is running concurrently, the reader may randomly die or 
even see partial results. 
Some kind of synchronization mechanisms (lease, lock in metastore/somewhere 
else) are needed to manage the above.

This also applies to multiple writers (say multiple load into...)
