Mithun Radhakrishnan commented on HIVE-17853:
---------------------------------------------
For the record, we've tested this out manually, using an Oozie setup, with
user-impersonation. I suppose it might be possible to set up a unit-test using
something based on {{MiniHiveKdc}}, but it looks non-trivial. Hmm...

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Metastore
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.4.0, 2.2.1

> The {{RetryingMetaStoreClient}} is used to automatically reconnect to the
> Hive metastore, after client timeout, transparently to the user.
> In case of user impersonation (e.g. Oozie super-user {{oozie}} impersonating
> a Hadoop user {{mithun}}, to run a workflow), in case of timeout, we find
> that the reconnect causes the {{UGI.doAs()}} context to be lost. Any further
> metastore operations will be attempted as the login-user ({{oozie}}), as
> opposed to the effective user ({{mithun}}).
> We should have a fix for this shortly.
