Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-7140:
-----------------------------------
Sounds good to me. One question though, does it prolong the wait time for a
client initiating connect to a dead metastore server? I guess not, but just to
confirm.
> Bump default hive.metastore.client.socket.timeout to 5 minutes

> 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
> * A few tests have actually increased this value in order to pass reliably.
