-----------------------------------------
Summary: HMS non-transactional listener may be called in
transactional context
Key: HIVE-18941
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18941
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Metastore
Affects Versions: 2.0.2, 3.0.0
Reporter: Alexander Kolbasov
When HMS code calls listeners it assumes that they are *not* called as part of
the transaction. This isn't quite true because of the nested transaction - it
is quite possible that these listeners are called as part of the bigger nested
transaction. This causes several potential issues:
1) It changes the assumptions about the context in which these listeners run
2) It creates possibilities for deadlocks
3) Some of these listeners may do relative long operations which may delay
transaction commits.
[~spena] FYI.
