Hi list, I found each invoke of HiveServer's execute method run in different threads. Those threads which execute a HSQL query(not a client connection may execute several pieces of queries), have not their own session state. when I call SessionState.get(), it will return null beacuse session state on this thread hadnot been constructed before. see also fragment of ExecDriver.java:
public static String getRealFiles(Configuration conf) { // fill in local files to be added to the task environment SessionState ss = SessionState.get(); // return ss will get null !!! ... } Is it a bug? Thanks, Min -- My research interests are distributed systems, parallel computing and bytecode based virtual machine. http://coderplay.javaeye.com
