             Summary: Make the return value of LockProvider's tryLock method more reasonable
                 Key: HUDI-4413
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HUDI-4413
             Project: Apache Hudi
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Jian Feng


For now, zk lock provider and hive lock provider never return false when tryLock, hence it will always return an Exception, Why can't it return false? is it make sense to always return Exception? I feel maybe we need to make sure the behavior is properly first
if want to return false or return HoodieLockException or return InterruptedException, should mean something
eg: if lockprovider returns a IllegalArgumentException we don't need to retry since it will always illegal
