Hey Hive gurus - Does anyone know how the CLI handles metastore connection timeouts? It seems if I leave a CLI session idle more than hive.metastore.client.socket.timeout seconds then run "show tables", the cli hangs for the timeout then throws a SocketTimeoutException. Restarting the CLI and running the same "show tables" always works.
Does anyone else see this? My hive.metastore.client.socket.timeout is set to 60 - is that a reasonable value? --travis
