hive.txn.manager 

Default: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.lockmgr.DummyTxnManager

Value required for transactions: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.lockmgr.DbTxnManager

Client/
HiveServer2

DummyTxnManager replicates pre Hive-0.13 behavior and provides no transactions.

hive.txn.strict.locking.modeDefault: true

Client/ HiveServer2

In strict mode non-ACID resources use standard R/W lock semantics, e.g. INSERT will acquire exclusive lock. In non-strict mode, for non-ACID resources, INSERT will only acquire shared lock, which allows two concurrent writes to the same partition but still lets lock manager prevent DROP TABLE etc. when the table is being written to (as of Hive 2.2.0).

hive.txn.timeout 

Default: 300

Client/
HiveServer2/

Metastore 

Time after which transactions are declared aborted if the client has not sent a heartbeat, in seconds. It's critical that this property has the same value for all components/services.5

hive.txn.heartbeat.threadpool.sizeDefault: 5

Client/

HiveServer2

The number of threads to use for heartbeating (as of Hive 1.3.0 and 2.0.0).
hive.timedout.txn.reaper.startDefault: 100sMetastoreTime delay of first reaper (the process which aborts timed-out transactions) run after the metastore starts (as of Hive 1.3.0). Controls AcidHouseKeeperServcie above.

hive.timedout.txn.reaper.interval

Default: 180sMetastore

Time interval describing how often the reaper (the process which aborts timed-out transactions) runs (as of Hive 1.3.0). Controls AcidHouseKeeperServcie above.

hive.txn.max.open.batch

Default: 1000

Client

Maximum number of transactions that can be fetched in one call to open_txns().1

hive.max.open.txnsDefault: 100000

HiveServer2/

 Metastore

Maximum number of open transactions. If current open transactions reach this limit, future open transaction requests will be rejected, until the number goes below the limit. (As of Hive 1.3.0 and 2.1.0.)
hive.count.open.txns.intervalDefault: 1s

HiveServer2/

 Metastore

Time in seconds between checks to count open transactions (as of Hive 1.3.0 and 2.1.0).
hive.txn.retryable.sqlex.regexDefault: "" (empty string)

HiveServer2/

 Metastore

Comma separated list of regular expression patterns for SQL state, error code, and error message of retryable SQLExceptions, that's suitable for the Hive metastore database (as of Hive 1.3.0 and 2.1.0).

For an example, see Configuration Properties.

hive.compactor.initiator.on

Default: false

Value required for transactions: true (for exactly one instance of the Thrift metastore service)

Metastore

Whether to run the initiator and cleaner threads on this metastore instance. Prior to Hive 1.3.0 it's critical that this is enabled on exactly one standalone metastore service instance (not enforced yet).

As of Hive 1.3.0 this property may be enabled on any number of standalone metastore instances.

 

hive.compactor.worker.threads

Default: 0

Value required for transactions: > 0 on at least one instance of the Thrift metastore service

Metastore

How many compactor worker threads to run on this metastore instance.2

hive.compactor.worker.timeout

Default: 86400

Metastore

Time in seconds after which a compaction job will be declared failed and the compaction re-queued.

hive.compactor.cleaner.run.intervalDefault: 5000MetastoreTime in milliseconds between runs of the cleaner thread. (Hive 0.14.0 and later.)

hive.compactor.check.interval

Default: 300

Metastore

Time in seconds between checks to see if any tables or partitions need to be compacted.3

hive.compactor.delta.num.threshold

Default: 10

Metastore

Number of delta directories in a table or partition that will trigger a minor compaction.

hive.compactor.delta.pct.threshold

Default: 0.1

Metastore

Percentage (fractional) size of the delta files relative to the base that will trigger a major compaction. 1 = 100%, so the default 0.1 = 10%.

hive.compactor.abortedtxn.threshold

Default: 1000

Metastore

Number of aborted transactions involving a given table or partition that will trigger a major compaction.

hive.compactor.max.num.delta

Default: 500MetastoreMaximum number of delta files that the compactor will attempt to handle in a single job (as of Hive 1.3.0).4

hive.compactor.job.queue

Default: "" (empty string) Metastore Used to specify name of Hadoop queue to which Compaction jobs will be submitted. Set to empty string to let Hadoop choose the queue (as of Hive 1.3.0).
Compaction History

hive.compactor.history.retention.succeeded

Default: 3MetastoreNumber of successful compaction entries to retain in history (per partition).

hive.compactor.history.retention.failed

Default: 3MetastoreNumber of failed compaction entries to retain in history (per partition).

hive.compactor.history.retention.attempted

Default: 2MetastoreNumber of attempted compaction entries to retain in history (per partition).

hive.compactor.initiator.failed.compacts.threshold

Default: 2MetastoreNumber of of consecutive failed compactions for a given partition after which the Initiator will stop attempting to schedule compactions automatically. It is still possible to use ALTER TABLE to initiate compaction. Once a manually initiated compaction succeeds auto initiated compactions will resume. Note that this must be less than hive.compactor.history.retention.failed.

hive.compactor.history.reaper.interval

Default: 2mMetastoreControls how often the process to purge historical record of compactions runs.
