Summary: Improvements for Frontend#metaStoreClientPool_
Key: IMPALA-9405
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-9405
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Frontend
Reporter: Sahil Takiar
While trying to resurrect {{tests/experiments/test_catalog_hms_failures.py}} I
noticed the test {{TestCatalogHMSFailures::test_start_catalog_before_hms}} has
started to fail. The reason is that when this test was written, only the
catalogd was connecting to HMS, but with catalog v2 and ACID integration this
is no longer the case.
It looks like catalog v2 honors {{initial_hms_cnxn_timeout_s}}, (at least
{{DirectMetaProvider}} honors the flag, and I *think* that is part of the
metadata v2 code), but the {{Frontend}} Java class has a member variable
{{metaStoreClientPool_}} that does not use the flag. It looks like that pool
was added for ACID integration.
The flag {{initial_hms_cnxn_timeout_s}} was added in IMPALA-4278 to help with
concurrent startup of Impala and HMS.
Somewhat related to this issue, is that there seems to be multiple places where
Impala creates a {{MetaStoreClientPool}}, I think it would make more sense to
just have one global pool that is used across the process. Doing so would
improve connection re-use and possibly decrease the number of HMS connections.
There is actually a TODO in {{DirectMetaProvider}} as well that says
{{msClientPool_}} should be a process wide singleton.
