in the hive-site.xml of VM , property “hive.txn.manager” with value  "org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.lockmgr.DbTxnManager”

is not working for exclusive table lock in hive

if we give  value as  “org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.lockmgr.DummyTxnManager” , hive queries are getting hung.

What is the  value of hive.support.concurrency set to in your hive-site.xml configuration?

<property>

    <name>hive.support.concurrency</name>

    <value>true</value>

@Komal_L 

after adding below property beeline queries are getting hung.  

<property

        <name>hive.txn.manager</name>

     <value>org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.lockmgr.DbTxnManager</value>

  </property>

Can you please let me know what is the issue that you are facing here?

Are you just trying to create an external table? 

I am given to believe that once you run show locks in the Hive prompt, you are not seeing any locks rt?

Are your tables ACID Enabled and ORC'ed?

[nara_pakeer]

Please see below for the the transaction management in hive. If you need transaction management DummyTxnManager may not be useful.

========

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.

=========

Check the below link to understand which properties to use and how to create tables to enable transaction management.

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/hive/hive+transactions

Also, as mentioned in previous post check o/p of  "show locks" command to see if you have any locks. This will show if any other queries are blocking the query you are running.
