Namit Jain created HIVE-3041:
--------------------------------
Summary: create a timeout for locks
Key: HIVE-3041
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3041
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Namit Jain
A common problem that we have seen in hive concurrency is as follows:
A table/partition is being read by a lot of clients.
This leads to starvation of the writer, since new readers are always coming
up. There should be a way to add a configurable timeout for the writer,
default can still be 0 to preserve the current behavior.
This should be very easy to do via the default concurrency manager,
ZooKeeper, but should be do-able via other implementations (in the future)
also.
