Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-7140: -------------------------------------- [~lars_francke] opened the "Documentation Policy" thread in November 2013: bq. I wanted to ask how people feel about a policy where an issue is not closed until documentation has been added to the Wiki? [~eugene.koifman] and [~thejas] also participated. I'll reopen the thread. * [hive-dev mailing list archives: "Documentation Policy" | http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hive-dev/201311.mbox/%3ccad-ua_jenkszq_it0i2thpvfrz6zdrxauouw4dxzpuuh2gx...@mail.gmail.com%3e] > 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 > Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.12.0, 0.13.0 > Reporter: Brock Noland > Assignee: Brock Noland > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-7140.patch > > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
