> *Problem description:*
> The master thread initializes the *sessionHive* object in *HiveSessionImpl*
> class when we open a new session for a client connection and by default all
> queries from this connection shares the same sessionHive object.
> If the master thread executes a *synchronous* query, it closes the
> sessionHive object (referred via thread local hiveDb) if
> {{Hive.isCompatible}} returns false and sets new Hive object in thread local
> HiveDb but doesn't change the sessionHive object in the session. Whereas,
> *asynchronous* query execution via async threads never closes the sessionHive
> object and it just creates a new one if needed and sets it as their thread
> local hiveDb.
> So, the problem can happen in the case where an *asynchronous* query is being
> executed by async threads refers to sessionHive object and the master thread
> receives a *synchronous* query that closes the same sessionHive object.
> Also, each query execution overwrites the thread local hiveDb object to
> sessionHive object which potentially leaks a metastore connection if the
> previous synchronous query execution re-created the Hive object.
> *Possible Fix:*
> We shall maintain an Atomic reference counter in the Hive object. We
> increment the counter when somebody sets it in thread local hiveDb and
> decrement it when somebody releases it. Only when the counter is down to 0,
> we should close the connection.
> Couple of cases to release the thread local hiveDb:
> * When synchronous query execution in master thread re-creates Hive object
> due to config change. We also, need to update the sessionHive object in the
> current session as we releases it from thread local hiveDb of master thread.
> * When async thread exits after completing execution or due to exception.
> If the session is getting closed, it is guaranteed that the reference counter
> is down to 0 as we forcefully close all the async operations and so we can
> close the connection there.
