[jira] [Updated] (HIVE-24363) Current order of transactional event listeners is prone to deadlock in backend DB connections

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24363?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Pravin Sinha updated HIVE-24363:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
Currently the AcidEventListener is added to the end of list of transactional event listeners. When DbNotificationListener is configured as 'hive.metastore.transactional.event.listeners'. The final list will be formed as :

{"DbNotificationListener" , "AcidEventListener"}

This will result in backend DB lock acquisition in this order:
{code:java}
 lock(a) {
        // perform some op on a
        lock(b) {
          // perform some op on b
        }
  }
{code}
On the other hand, there are some HMS API say for example commit_txn(), which calls the TxnHandler method directly, followed by DbNotificationListener processing. Which will result in the lock acquisition in reverse order:
{code:java}
lock(b) {
    // perform some op on b        
    lock(a) {
        // perform some op on a
    }   
 }
{code}
Note: 'a' and 'b' above are backend  DB lock and not jvm locks.
