             Summary: Use nonblocking thrift server for metastore
                 Key: HIVE-22306
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-22306
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Metastore
            Reporter: Qinghui Xu


Currently hive metastore's threads are blocking for network io (it's using `TThreadPoolServer` behind the scene), which means with increasing use cases (in our tech stack there are different services relying on it, hiveserver2, spark, presto, and more, all with a significant number of users), to handle all connections it needs either a big thread pool or many instances with smaller thread pools. And often, those metastores will see their thread pool saturated, while the cpu usage is still quite low, just because most connections stay idle and only run a query from time to time. This is thus a great misuse of the computation resources.

Thus I propose to use a non blocking threading model, and run computation asynchronously.
