> which was part of HIVE-15546 [introduced a thread
> pool|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/824b9c80b443dc4e2b9ad35214a23ac756e75234/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/exec/Utilities.java#L3109]
> which is not shutdown upon completion of its threads. This leads to a leak
> of threads for each query which uses more than 1 partition. They are not
> removed automatically. When queries spanning multiple partitions are made the
> number of threads increases and is never reduced. On my machine hiveserver2
> starts to get slower and slower once 10k threads are reached.
> Thread pools only shutdown automatically in special circumstances (see
> [documentation section
> _Finalization_|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/ThreadPoolExecutor.html]).
> This is not currently the case for the Get-Input-Paths thread pool. I would
> add a _pool.shutdown()_ in a finally block just before returning the result
> to make sure the threads are really shutdown.
> My current workaround is to set {{hive.exec.input.listing.max.threads = 1}}.
> This prevents the the thread pool from being spawned
