Sahil Takiar commented on HIVE-18533: ------------------------------------- I think {{Future}} is a better abstraction than a {{Thread}} in this scenario. A {{Future}} provides a way to monitor an async operation, as well as get any errors or results from the async computation. {{launchDriver}} is basically an async operation, it launches the Spark app and then exits. > Add option to use InProcessLauncher to submit spark jobs > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-18533 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18533 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Spark > Reporter: Sahil Takiar > Assignee: Sahil Takiar > Priority: Major > Attachments: HIVE-18533.1.patch, HIVE-18533.2.patch, > HIVE-18533.3.patch, HIVE-18533.4.patch, HIVE-18533.5.patch, > HIVE-18533.6.patch, HIVE-18533.7.patch, HIVE-18533.8.patch, HIVE-18533.9.patch > > > See discussion in HIVE-16484 for details. > I think this will help with reducing the amount of time it takes to open a > HoS session + debuggability (no need launch a separate process to run a Spark > app). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
