Summary: Allow metastore clients to fetch remaining events if some of the events are cleaned up Key: HIVE-25796 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-25796 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Vihang Karajgaonkar Assignee: Vihang Karajgaonkar This is the code snippet from HiveMetastoreClient.java's getNextNotification method {noformat} for (NotificationEvent e : rsp.getEvents()) { LOG.debug("Got event with id : {}", e.getEventId()); if (e.getEventId() != nextEventId) { if (e.getEventId() == prevEventId) { LOG.error("NOTIFICATION_LOG table has multiple events with the same event Id {}. " + "Something went wrong when inserting notification events. Bootstrap the system " + "again to get back teh consistent replicated state.", prevEventId); throw new IllegalStateException(REPL_EVENTS_WITH_DUPLICATE_ID_IN_METASTORE); } else { LOG.error("Requested events are found missing in NOTIFICATION_LOG table. Expected: {}, Actual: {}. " + "Probably, cleaner would've cleaned it up. " + "Try setting higher value for hive.metastore.event.db.listener.timetolive. " + "Also, bootstrap the system again to get back the consistent replicated state.", nextEventId, e.getEventId()); throw new IllegalStateException(REPL_EVENTS_MISSING_IN_METASTORE); } } {noformat} Consider the case when a client which caches a event id and tries to fetch the next events since the eventid after long time. In this case, it is possible that Metastore has cleaned up the events because they were more than 24 hrs old. In such a case, this API throws an exception. It is possible that client does not care if the events are not in sequence and hence this exception should be thrown optionally depending on what the client wants. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
