Roshan Naik commented on HIVE-12421:
------------------------------------

though.. not having a timeout option on blocking call is an issue IMO

>         LockResponse res = msClient.lock(lockRequest);
>         if (res.getState() != LockState.ACQUIRED) {

> This means that if there are any competing locks already take, this will throw an Exception to client.  This doesn't seem like the right behavior.  It should block.
> We could also add TransactionBatch.beginNextTransaction(long timeoutMs) to  give the client more control.
