ZooKeeperHiveLockManager Error flooding hive.log

[Tony Sterlini]

Hi
We are running hadoop 0.20.205, hive 0.90, zookeeper 3.4.5 and keep getting
this ZooKeeperHiveLockManager error flooding hive.log. To trigger it we run
a process with a high amount of writing, namely sqoop. We have another
cluster with the same set up and versions which is not getting this error
when running similar process.

Any ideas what could be causing it ?

Thanks
Tony
