BELUGA BEHR commented on HIVE-19378:
------------------------------------

[~afan] So, perhaps it's just a doc fix to state that these configurations are 
the "total number of attempts to complete the request."

> "hive.lock.numretries" Is Misleading

> Configuration 'hive.lock.numretries' is confusing.  It's not actually a 
> 'retry' count, it's the total number of attempt to try:
>  
> {code:java|title=ZooKeeperHiveLockManager.java}
> do {
>       lastException = null;
>       tryNum++;
>       try {
>         if (tryNum > 1) {
>           Thread.sleep(sleepTime);
>           prepareRetry();
>         }
>         ret = lockPrimitive(key, mode, keepAlive, parentCreated, 
> conflictingLocks);
> ...
> } while (tryNum < numRetriesForLock);
> {code}
> So, from this code you can see that on the first loop, {{tryNum}} is set to 
> 1, in which case, if the configuration num*retries* is set to 1, there will 
> be one attempt total.  With a *retry* value of 1, I would assume one initial 
> attempt and one additional retry.  Please change to:
> {code}
> while (tryNum <= numRetriesForLock);
> {code}
