Eugene Koifman commented on HIVE-13249: --------------------------------------- [~wzheng] 1. I think HIVE_MAX_OPEN_TXNS should higher by default. 50K? 100K? (10 nodes streaming into table with 100 partitions and txn batches of 10) 2. HIVE_COUNT_OPEN_TXNS_INTERVAL This should probably be 1s. 3. TxnHandler.countOpenTxns() - Seems like this should be at least a WARN _LOG.debug("Transaction database not properly configured, " + ..._ - _numOpenTxns = new AtomicLong(rs.getLong(1));_ why does this need AtomicLong? Seems like volatile would be sufficient - Seems like _LOG.debug("Failed to update number of open transactions");_ should be at least at info - this method should probably have retry logic like all public methods (e.g. _addDynamicPartitions()_ ) 4. TxnHandler - shouldn't _maxOpenTxns_ and _tooManyOpenTxns_ be static just like _numOpenTxns_? 5. TxnHandler.openTxns() - Perhaps the exception message should read something like "Maximum allowed number of open transactions has been reached. See hive.max.open.txns." - This should probably be logged at WARN before throwing (include current number of open txns) 6. AcidOpenTxnCountService - Why is _getStartDelayMs()_ using HIVE_COUNT_OPEN_TXNS_INTERVAL. Could probably just hardcode the value 7. TestTxnCommadns2. testOpenTxnsCounter - please see runHouseKeeperService() - it has logic to prevent it from spinning forever. In fact, you can just use this method and pass in the instance of the the new service. - it would make sense if this test also committed or aborted some txns to make sure following openTxns() succeeds > Hard upper bound on number of open transactions > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-13249 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13249 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Transactions > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Wei Zheng > Assignee: Wei Zheng > Attachments: HIVE-13249.1.patch, HIVE-13249.2.patch > > > We need to have a safeguard by adding an upper bound for open transactions to > avoid huge number of open-transaction requests, usually due to improper > configuration of clients such as Storm. > Once that limit is reached, clients will start failing. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
