Lenni Kuff commented on HIVE-14907: ----------------------------------- +[~mohitsabharwal] - FYI > Hive Metastore should use repeatable-read consistency level > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-14907 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14907 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore > Affects Versions: 2.2.0 > Reporter: Lenni Kuff > > Currently HMS uses the "read-committed" consistency level which is the > default for DataNucleus. This could cause potential problems since the state > visible to each transaction can actually see updates from other transactions, > so it is very difficult to reason about any code that reads multiple pieces > of data. > Instead it should use "repeatable-read" consistency which guarantees that any > transaction only sees the state at the beginning of a transaction plus any > updates done within a transaction. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
