[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-20801) ACID: Allow DbTxnManager to ignore non-ACID table locking

["Ashutosh Chauhan (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20801?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16783794#comment-16783794 ] 

Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-20801:
-----------------------------------------

Now we only have ACID tables or insert-only (MM) tables or external tables. If etl is via spark or sqoop, those tables should be external and then there will be no locking on them.

> Enabling ACIDv1 on a cluster produces a central locking bottleneck for all table types, which is not always the intention.
> The Hive locking for non-acid tables are advisory (i.e a client can write/read without locking), which means that the implementation does not offer strong consistency despite the lock manager consuming resources centrally.
> Disabling this lock acquisition would improve the performance of non-ACID tables co-existing with a globally configured DbTxnManager implementation.
