Brock Noland created HIVE-7140: ---------------------------------- Summary: Bump default hive.metastore.client.socket.timeout to 5 minutes Key: HIVE-7140 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7140 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Brock Noland
The issue is that OOTB clients often face timeouts when using HMS since many operations in the HMS completes are long running (e.g. many operations on a table with many partitions). A few supporting pieces of information: * The default value of hive.metastore.client.socket.timeout is 20 seconds. * Since the timeout is client only, the server happy continues doing the requested work * Clients retry after a small delay to perform the requested work again, often while the server is still trying to complete the original request -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
