Hi Team, Here is old thread about this issue: http://qnalist.com/questions/5091386/doubt-about-locking-mechanism-in-hive
I met the same issue that when reading one table in session A, we can not create a table in the same database in session B. Basically it causes database level lock in Hive 0.13 when hive.support.concurrency=true. Minimum reproduce: --Session A: create table passwords (col0 string, col1 string, col2 string, col3 string, col4 string, col5 string, col6 string) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY ":"; load data local inpath "/etc/passwd" into table passwords; select count(*) from passwords a,passwords b, passwords c, passwords d where a.col0=b.col0 and a.col0=c.col0 and a.col0=d.col0; --Session B: hive> create table test(id int); conflicting lock present for default mode EXCLUSIVE *Is this fixed or any jira related?* -- Thanks, www.openkb.info (Open KnowledgeBase for Hadoop/Database/OS/Network/Tool)
