David Mollitor commented on HIVE-21354:
---------------------------------------
bq. So it all comes down if the lock check does exact matches, or it checks
stuff hierarchically.
Yes. Exactly :)
I think we are just both guessing on which one is employed. I will need to dig
in to figure it out, unless you can point me at the code that does this
implicit locking check.
> Lock The Entire Table If Majority Of Partitions Are Locked

>
> Key: HIVE-21354
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21354
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HiveServer2
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0, 3.2.0
> Reporter: David Mollitor
> Assignee: David Mollitor
> Priority: Major
>
> One of the bottlenecks of any Hive query is the ZooKeeper locking mechanism.
> When a Hive query interacts with a table which has a lot of partitions, this
> may put a lot of stress on the ZK system.
> Please add a heuristic that works like this:
> # Count the number of partitions that a query is required to lock
> # Obtain the total number of partitions in the table
> # If the number of partitions accessed by the query is greater than or equal
> to half the total number of partitions, simply create one ZNode lock at the
> table level.
> This would improve performance of many queries, but in particular, a {{select
> count(1) from table}} ... or ... {{select * from table limit 5}} where the
> table has many partitions.
