----------------------------------
Labels: pull-request-available (was: )
> StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider silently blocks on slow HDFS getFileInfo
> calls with no observable logging
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HIVE-29753
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-29753
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Authorization, Metastore
> Reporter: Indhumathi Muthumurugesh
> Assignee: Indhumathi Muthumurugesh
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> When StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider.checkPermissions() calls
> FileUtils.getFileStatusOrNull() to resolve HDFS path permissions, the
> underlying NameNode RPC (getFileInfo) can block for an extended duration.
> During this time, Metastore Handler threads are silently stuck with no INFO
> or WARN log emitted — the issue is only detectable via thread dumps or
> DEBUG-level logging.
> Example thread dump showing the silent block:
> {code:java}
> java.lang.Thread.State: WAITING (on object monitor)
> at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client.getRpcResponse(Client.java:1571)
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.protocolPB.ClientNamenodeProtocolTranslatorPB.getFileInfo(...)
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.common.FileUtils.getFileStatusOrNull(FileUtils.java:1114)
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.security.authorization.StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider.checkPermissions(...)
> at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HMSHandler.get_database(...){code}
>
> In production this can manifest as Metastore thread pool exhaustion with no
> actionable log evidence.
