Furcy Pin created HIVE-12258: -------------------------------- Summary: read/write into same partitioned table + concurrency = deadlock Key: HIVE-12258 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12258 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Furcy Pin
When hive.support.concurrency is enabled if you launch a query that reads data from a partition and writes data into another partition of the same table, it creates a deadlock. The worse part is that once the deadlock is active, you can't query the table until it times out. ## How to reproduce : ```sql CREATE TABLE test_table (id INT) PARTITIONED BY (part STRING) ; INSERT INTO TABLE test_table PARTITION (part="test") VALUES (1), (2), (3), (4) ; INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE test_table PARTITION (part="test2") SELECT id FROM test_table WHERE part="test1"; ``` Nothing happens, and when doing a SHOW LOCKS in another terminal we get : ``` SHOW LOCKS ; +----------+-----------+------------+------------+-------------+--------------+-----------------+-----------------+----------------+ | lockid | database | table | partition | lock_state | lock_type | transaction_id | last_heartbeat | acquired_at | +----------+-----------+------------+------------+-------------+--------------+-----------------+-----------------+----------------+ | 3765 | default | test_table | NULL | WAITING | SHARED_READ | NULL | 1440603633148 | NULL | | 3765 | default | test_table | part=test2 | WAITING | EXCLUSIVE | NULL | 1440603633148 | NULL | +----------+-----------+------------+------------+-------------+--------------+-----------------+-----------------+----------------+ ``` This was tested on Hive 1.1.0-cdh5.4.2 but I believe the bug is still presents in 1.2.1. I could not reproduce it easily locally because it requires a pseudo-distributed setup with zookeeper to have concurrency enabled. >From looking at the code I believe the problem comes from the >EmbeddedLockManager method `public List<HiveLock> lock(List<HiveLockObj> objs, int numRetriesForLock, long sleepTime)` that keeps trying to acquire two incompatible locks, and ends up failing after hive.lock.numretries*hive.lock.sleep.between.retries which by defaut is 100*60s = 100 minutes. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
