-----------------------------------------------------------------

[~belugabehr], [~pvary], checkLock searches stuff hierarchically, so if you 
have conflicting locks on any level (db/table/partition) - it's gonna backoff 
and try later. Exception are: EXCLUSIVE on a table/partition shouldn't prevent 
SHARED_READ on a database.

>             Project: Hive
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: HiveServer2
>    Affects Versions: 4.0.0, 3.2.0

> One of the bottlenecks of any Hive query is the ZooKeeper locking mechanism.  
> When a Hive query interacts with a table which has a lot of partitions, this 
> may put a lot of stress on the ZK system.
> Please add a heuristic that works like this:
> # Count the number of partitions that a query is required to lock
> # Obtain the total number of partitions in the table
> # If the number of partitions accessed by the query is greater than or equal 
> to half the total number of partitions, simply create one ZNode lock at the 
> table level.
> This would improve performance of many queries, but in particular, a {{select 
> count(1) from table}} ... or ... {{select * from table limit 5}} where the 
> table has many partitions.
