Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-12777: ------------------------------------ Could we have description of what the feature is please? I don't understand what we are trying to achieve here. Are we trying to restore a session that's lost? How does it get lost? Where do we restore it from? What are the use cases? How does this benefits Hive users? > Add capability to restore session > --------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-12777 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12777 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Rajat Khandelwal > Assignee: Rajat Khandelwal > Attachments: HIVE-12777.04.patch, HIVE-12777.08.patch, > HIVE-12777.09.patch, HIVE-12777.11.patch, HIVE-12777.12.patch, > HIVE-12777.13.patch, HIVE-12777.15.patch, HIVE-12777.16.patch, > HIVE-12777.17.patch > > > Extensions using Hive session handles should be able to restore the hive > session from the handle. > Apache Lens depends on a fork of hive and that fork has such a capability. > Relevant commit: > https://github.com/InMobi/hive/commit/931fe9116161a18952c082c14223ad6745fefe00#diff-0acb35f7cab7492f522b0c40ce3ce1be > Functionality added: Restoring a session. A session opened once is lost once > the cli service is restarted. There may be some operation going on in that > session at the time the service is restarted. It's useful to be able to > restore a previously existing session. > Have added code in CLIService for that effect. Have also added a test class. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
