Peter Vary created HIVE-14979: --------------------------------- Summary: Removing stale Zookeeper locks at HiveServer2 initialization Key: HIVE-14979 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14979 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Locking Reporter: Peter Vary Assignee: Peter Vary
HiveServer2 could use Zookeeper to store token that indicate that particular tables are locked with the creation of persistent Zookeeper objects. A problem can occur when a HiveServer2 instance creates a lock on a table and the HiveServer2 instances crashes ("Out of Memory" for example) and the locks are not released in Zookeeper. This lock will then remain until it is manually cleared by an admin. There should be a way to remove stale locks at HiveServer2 initialization, helping the admins life. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
