Daniel Dai commented on HIVE-18661: ----------------------------------- Note with current patch, it could happen: 1. Metastore A update table t1 2. Metastore B update table t1 3. Metastore B read notification about A's update, overwrite B's newer change 4. Metastore B will eventually read B's update from notification, bring back B's newer change I think it might be ok with this eventual consistent behavior. Otherwise, we need some more complex mechanism to track which change is newer. cc [~thejas] > CachedStore: Use metastore notification log events to update cache > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-18661 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18661 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Vaibhav Gumashta > Assignee: mahesh kumar behera > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Attachments: HIVE-18661.02.patch > > > Currently, a background thread updates the entire cache which is pretty > inefficient. We capture the updates to metadata in NOTIFICATION_LOG table > which is getting used in the Replication work. We should have the background > thread apply these notifications to incrementally update the cache. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
