[jira] [Updated] (HIVE-17853) RetryingMetaStoreClient loses UGI impersonation-context when reconnecting after timeout

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17853?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Mithun Radhakrishnan updated HIVE-17853:
----------------------------------------
    Description: 
The {{RetryingMetaStoreClient}} is used to automatically reconnect to the Hive metastore, after client timeout, transparently to the user.

In case of user impersonation (e.g. Oozie super-user {{oozie}} impersonating a Hadoop user {{mithun}}, to run a workflow), in case of timeout, we find that the reconnect causes the {{UGI.doAs()}} context to be lost. Any further metastore operations will be attempted as the login-user ({{oozie}}), as opposed to the effective user ({{mithun}}).

We should have a fix for this shortly.
