Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-5181:
----------------------------------------
In my case it was some bug I introduced locally with my patch... spent some of
time tracking transaction calls before realizing the real error was hidden.
Different potential bugs in metastore can also cause this though.
> RetryingRawStore should not retry on logical failures (e.g. from commit)

> Key: HIVE-5181
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5181
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
> Priority: Minor
>
> RetryingRawStore retries calls. Some method (e.g. drop_table_core in
> HiveMetaStore) explicitly call openTransaction and commitTransaction on
> RawStore.
> When the commit call fails due to some real issue, it is retried, and instead
> of a real cause for failure one gets some bogus exception about transaction
> open count.
> I doesn't make sense to retry logical errors, especially not from
> commitTransaction.
