Jason Dere commented on HIVE-17482:
-----------------------------------

Attempting to release locks seems to be valid, as this is also done during 
Driver.rollback() which can be called during a failed compilation. If there are 
no locks held the cleanup seems to not do much.
The alternative would be to skip the cleanup object in the case that acquiring 
the lock fails - if you think that is better I can change it to do that.

> When using the LLAP external client with simple queries (filter/project of 
> single table), the appropriate locks should be taken on the table being read 
> like they are for normal Hive queries. This is important in the case of 
> transactional tables being queried, since the compactor relies on the 
> presence of table locks to determine whether it can safely delete old 
> versions of compacted files without affecting currently running queries.
> This does not have to happen in the complex query case, since a query is used 
> (with the appropriate locking mechanisms) to create/populate the temp table 
> holding the results to the complex query.
