Here is some discussion of the issue on the Oracle side - I don't know how
accurate this is.

The statement there is that not only it is impossible to have gapless sequence,
it is also impossible to guarantee ordering which means that earlier ID values
may appear after later ones.

> HMS log notifications may have duplicated event IDs if multiple HMS are

> Key: HIVE-16886
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16886
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Hive, Metastore
> Reporter: Sergio Peña
> Assignee: anishek
> Attachments: datastore-identity-holes.diff, HIVE-16886.1.patch
>
>
> When running multiple Hive Metastore servers and DB notifications are
> enabled, I could see that notifications can be persisted with a duplicated
> event ID.
> This does not happen when running multiple threads in a single HMS node due
> to the locking acquired on the DbNotificationsLog class, but multiple HMS
> could cause conflicts.
> The issue is in the ObjectStore#addNotificationEvent() method. The event ID
> fetched from the datastore is used for the new notification, incremented in
> the server itself, then persisted or updated back to the datastore. If 2
> servers read the same ID, then these 2 servers write a new notification with
> the same ID.
> The event ID is not unique nor a primary key.
> Here's a test case using the TestObjectStore class that confirms this issue:
> {noformat}
> @Test
> public void testConcurrentAddNotifications() throws ExecutionException,
> InterruptedException {
> final int NUM_THREADS = 2;
> CountDownLatch countIn = new CountDownLatch(NUM_THREADS);
> CountDownLatch countOut = new CountDownLatch(1);
> HiveConf conf = new HiveConf();
> conf.setVar(HiveConf.ConfVars.METASTORE_EXPRESSION_PROXY_CLASS,
> MockPartitionExpressionProxy.class.getName());
> ExecutorService executorService =
> Executors.newFixedThreadPool(NUM_THREADS);
> FutureTask<Void> tasks[] = new FutureTask[NUM_THREADS];
> for (int i=0; i<NUM_THREADS; i++) {
> final int n = i;
> tasks[i] = new FutureTask<Void>(new Callable<Void>() {
> @Override
> public Void call() throws Exception {
> ObjectStore store = new ObjectStore();
> store.setConf(conf);
> NotificationEvent dbEvent =
> new NotificationEvent(0, 0,
> EventMessage.EventType.CREATE_DATABASE.toString(), "CREATE DATABASE DB" + n);
> System.out.println("ADDING NOTIFICATION");
> countIn.countDown();
> countOut.await();
> store.addNotificationEvent(dbEvent);
> System.out.println("FINISH NOTIFICATION");
> return null;
> }
> });
> executorService.execute(tasks[i]);
> }
> countIn.await();
> countOut.countDown();
> for (int i = 0; i < NUM_THREADS; ++i) {
> tasks[i].get();
> }
> NotificationEventResponse eventResponse =
> objectStore.getNextNotification(new NotificationEventRequest());
> Assert.assertEquals(2, eventResponse.getEventsSize());
> Assert.assertEquals(1, eventResponse.getEvents().get(0).getEventId());
> // This fails because the next notification has an event ID = 1
> Assert.assertEquals(2, eventResponse.getEvents().get(1).getEventId());
> }
> {noformat}
> The last assertion fails expecting an event ID 1 instead of 2.
