There are jiras saying that Hive Server has issues with concurrent queries, such as HIVE-80 and HIVE-1019. (Hive Server, not Hive CLI.) I don't use Hive Server heavily, so I cannot confirm or deny.

Thanks! Just dirty reads then, is it true 0.70 version of Hive supports concurrency now? http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/381620/hadoop_hive_gets_production_polish/ From: Alex Kozlov [mailto:ale...@cloudera.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 2:14 PM To: user@hive.apache.org Subject: Re: Multiple Hive queries at once Hive queries can be concurrent, however there is no specific locking mechanism to avoid concurrent modifications to either metadata or the data files.

I would like to confirm that Hive query cannot be concurrent. Is it true that you can only run one hive query on a hive server at any one given time?
