Jonathan Sharley commented on HIVE-4996: ---------------------------------------- We have seen similar issues in an environment with a lot of concurrent hive access from multiple machines all running version 0.11. Our first thought was that we needed to turn on hive.support.concurrency. However, after doing this on all of our hosts including the ones running hiveserver we still see an intermittent issue. I've not been able to reliably reproduce it, but it does happen at least a few times a day as part of our regularly scheduled jobs. > unbalanced calls to openTransaction/commitTransaction > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4996 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4996 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Environment: hiveserver1 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build > 20.6-b01, mixed mode) > Reporter: wangfeng > Priority: Critical > Labels: hive, metastore > Original Estimate: 504h > Remaining Estimate: 504h > > when we used hiveserver1 based on hive-0.10.0, we found the Exception > thrown.It was: > FAILED: Error in metadata: MetaException(message:java.lang.RuntimeException: > commitTransaction was called but openTransactionCalls = 0.
