Brock Noland commented on HIVE-7140:
------------------------------------
I propose we increase the default timeout to 5 minutes, because in the current
state false positives are extremely common. Increasing this to 5 minutes means
that true positives, timing out when the HMS is actually down, will take
considerably longer. I believe this to be reasonable trade-off since true
positives are rare.

> 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
