> *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:*
> The *sessionHive* object could be shared my multiple threads and so it
> shouldn't be allowed to be closed by any query execution threads when they
> re-create the Hive object due to changes in Hive configurations. But the Hive
> objects created by query execution threads should be closed when the thread
> exits.
> So, it is proposed to have an *isAllowClose* flag (default: *true*) in Hive
> object which should be set to *false* for *sessionHive* and would be
> forcefully closed when the session is closed or released.
> Also, when we reset *sessionHive* object with new one due to changes in
> *sessionConf*, the old one should be closed when no async thread is referring
> to it. This can be done using "*finalize*" method of Hive object where we can
> close HMS connection when Hive object is garbage collected.
