> Hive Locking with Micro-managed and full-ACID tables needs a better locking
> implementation which allows for no-wait readers always.
> EXCL_DROP
> EXCL_WRITE
> SHARED_WRITE
> SHARED_READ
> Short write-up
> EXCL_DROP is a "drop partition" or "drop table" and waits for all others to
> exit
> EXCL_WRITE excludes all writes and will wait for all existing SHARED_WRITE to
> exit.
> SHARED_WRITE allows all SHARED_WRITES to go through, but will wait for an
> EXCL_WRITE & EXCL_DROP (waiting so that you can do drop + insert in different
> threads).
> SHARED_READ does not wait for any lock - it fails fast for a pending
> EXCL_DROP, because even if there is an EXCL_WRITE or SHARED_WRITE pending,
> there's no semantic reason to wait for them to succeed before going ahead
> with a SHARED_WRITE.
> a select * => SHARED_READ
> an insert into => SHARED_WRITE
> an insert overwrite or MERGE => EXCL_WRITE
> a drop table => EXCL_DROP
> TODO:
> The fate of the compactor needs to be added to this before it is a complete
> description.
