All, I use hive locking and I commonly get this error.
HiveServerException(message:Query returned non-zero code: 10, cause: FAILED: Error in acquiring locks: locks on the underlying objects cannot be acquired. retry after some time, errorCode:10, SQLState:42000) The default settings for hive are: <property> <name>hive.lock.numretries</name> <value>100</value> <description>The number of times you want to try to get all the locks</description> </property> <property> <name>hive.lock.sleep.between.retries</name> <value>60</value> <description>The sleep time (in seconds) between various retries</description> </property> This is not the behaviour I see at all. It seems like hive tries once and then gives up. What is the deal here? Edward
