The ability to explicitly lock a Hive table: * Is not officially [documented|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Locking] * It's buggy [HIVE-10984] * Not implemented everywhere [HIVE-12285] Please consider dropping this feature from Hive 3.0. If applications need synchronization, allow them to do it externally, directly through something like ZooKeeper. http://www.ericlin.me/2015/05/how-table-locking-works-in-hive/ -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
