John Sichi commented on HIVE-1293: ---------------------------------- Oops, ant test is giving me this build error: [javac] /data/users/jsichi/open/commit-trunk/ql/src/test/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/QTestUtil.java:939: cannot find symbol [javac] symbol : class MiniZooKeeperCluster [javac] location: class org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.QTestUtil.QTestSetup [javac] private MiniZooKeeperCluster zooKeeperCluster = null; [javac] ^ I had only moved zookeeper-3.2.2.jar from hbase-handler/lib to top-level lib (but not the hbase-*.jar). I guess we need to move all of them. > Concurrency Model for Hive > -------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1293 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1293 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Namit Jain > Assignee: Namit Jain > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > Attachments: hive.1293.1.patch, hive.1293.2.patch, hive.1293.3.patch, > hive.1293.4.patch, hive.1293.5.patch, hive.1293.6.patch, hive.1293.7.patch, > hive.1293.8.patch, hive.1293.9.patch, hive_leases.txt > > > Concurrency model for Hive: > Currently, hive does not provide a good concurrency model. The only > guanrantee provided in case of concurrent readers and writers is that > reader will not see partial data from the old version (before the write) and > partial data from the new version (after the write). > This has come across as a big problem, specially for background processes > performing maintenance operations. > The following possible solutions come to mind. > 1. Locks: Acquire read/write locks - they can be acquired at the beginning of > the query or the write locks can be delayed till move > task (when the directory is actually moved). Care needs to be taken for > deadlocks. > 2. Versioning: The writer can create a new version if the current version is > being read. Note that, it is not equivalent to snapshots, > the old version can only be accessed by the current readers, and will be > deleted when all of them have finished. > Comments. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
