Summary: Catalog update thread should have highest priority when waiting for table locks Key: IMPALA-11995 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-11995 Project: IMPALA Issue Type: Bug Components: Catalog Reporter: Quanlong Huang Assignee: Quanlong Huang We currently use a *fair* ReentrantReadWriteLock as the table lock. Under contention, locks favor granting access to the longest-waiting thread. This could let the catalog update thread waiting until all the operations submitted before finish. The delay of catalog updates will further block queries in CREATED state. We should consider assigning the highest priority to the catalog update thread when waiting for table locks. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
