Peter Vary commented on HIVE-20682:
-----------------------------------

[~sankarh] [~maheshk114]: What will happen when the following sequence of 
events happen:
 * Session started - Hive object H1 is created with allowClose=false
 * Async compilation of a long compiling query Q1 is started (BackGroundWork is 
started) - other thread got the H1 as a threadLocal Hive object too.
 * Set some metastore client configuration (set 
hive.metastore.client.socket.timeout=7000)
 * New query Q2 is issued - Hive.get(HiveConf) will detect that the 2 
configurations are not compatible
 ** Which triggers a new Hive creation  H2 
 *** The allowClose for H2 will be true
 *** This will be set as a ThreadLocal for the given thread - but not to the 
session level (I think this is a problem since from now on every thread needs 
to create it's own Hive object - but this is a different problem :))
 ** Also H1 is not closed since allowClose=false
 ** If I did not made any mistakes until this stage then "assert 
(!parentHive.allowClose());" will fail too, so the query will not run.
 * Async compilation of Q1 is finished
 ** closeCurrent() is called - since allowClose is false the HMS connection is 
not closed

Basically we will close the HMS connections only for the session when the 
session is closed, but will create multiple connections if the following is 
true:
{code:java}
if (db == null || !db.isCurrentUserOwner() || needsRefresh
        || (c != null && !isCompatible(db, c, isFastCheck))) {{code}
What do you think?

Is there any mistake in my reasoning?

Thanks,

Peter

> *Problem description:*
> The master thread initializes the *sessionHive* object in *HiveSessionImpl* 
> class when we open a new session for a client connection and by default all 
> queries from this connection shares the same sessionHive object. 
> If the master thread executes a *synchronous* query, it closes the 
> sessionHive object (referred via thread local hiveDb) if  
> {{Hive.isCompatible}} returns false and sets new Hive object in thread local 
> HiveDb but doesn't change the sessionHive object in the session. Whereas, 
> *asynchronous* query execution via async threads never closes the sessionHive 
> object and it just creates a new one if needed and sets it as their thread 
> local hiveDb.
> So, the problem can happen in the case where an *asynchronous* query is being 
> executed by async threads refers to sessionHive object and the master thread 
> receives a *synchronous* query that closes the same sessionHive object. 
> Also, each query execution overwrites the thread local hiveDb object to 
> sessionHive object which potentially leaks a metastore connection if the 
> previous synchronous query execution re-created the Hive object.
> *Possible Fix:*
> The *sessionHive* object could be shared my multiple threads and so it 
> shouldn't be allowed to be closed by any query execution threads when they 
> re-create the Hive object due to changes in Hive configurations. But the Hive 
> objects created by query execution threads should be closed when the thread 
> exits.
> So, it is proposed to have an *isAllowClose* flag (default: *true*) in Hive 
> object which should be set to *false* for *sessionHive* and would be 
> forcefully closed when the session is closed or released.
