Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-9508: -------------------------------------- Doc note: This adds configuration parameter *hive.metastore.client.socket.lifetime* to HiveConf.java, so it needs to be documented in the wiki. * [Configuration Properties -- MetaStore | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-MetaStore] > MetaStore client socket connection should have a lifetime > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-9508 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9508 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: CLI, Metastore > Reporter: Thiruvel Thirumoolan > Assignee: Thiruvel Thirumoolan > Labels: TODOC1.2, metastore, rolling_upgrade > Fix For: 1.2.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-9508.1.patch, HIVE-9508.2.patch, HIVE-9508.3.patch, > HIVE-9508.4.patch, HIVE-9508.5.patch, HIVE-9508.6.patch > > > Currently HiveMetaStoreClient (or SessionHMSC) is connected to one Metastore > server until the connection is closed or there is a problem. I would like to > introduce the concept of a MetaStore client socket life time. The MS client > will reconnect if the socket lifetime is reached. This will help during > rolling upgrade of Metastore. > When there are multiple Metastore servers behind a VIP (load balancer), it is > easy to take one server out of rotation and wait for 10+ mins for all > existing connections will die down (if the lifetime is 5mins say) and the > server can be updated. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
