Hi,
Does Hive server support multiple concurrent client connections?
The following page says it does not support them.
https://cwiki.apache.org/Hive/hiveodbc.html
Hive Server is currently not thread safe
The following page says that it was designed to support multiple connections.
But there's no test coverage. https://cwiki.apache.org/Hive/hiveserver.html
HiveServer is multithreaded and was designed to support multiple concurrent
client connections. However, there is currently no test coverage for this
scenario. If you want to play it safe we recommend running one HiveServer
process per client connection.
The following JIRA seems to imply that the hive server does support multiple
concurrent connections.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-77
What's the official stance on this? supported or not supported?
Are there any known issues with hive server's handling of multiple concurrent
client connections?
Thanks,
Sumadhur
