Description

On our secure Hadoop cluster, queries submitted to HiveServer2 through JDBC occasionally trigger odd Thrift exceptions with messages such as "Read a negative frame size (-2147418110)!" or "out of sequence response" in HiveServer2's connections to the metastore. For certain metastore calls (for example, showDatabases), these Thrift exceptions are converted to MetaExceptions in HiveMetaStoreClient, which prevents RetryingMetaStoreClient from retrying these calls and thus causes the failure to bubble out to the JDBC client.

Note that as far as we can tell, this issue appears to only affect queries that are submitted with the runAsync flag on TExecuteStatementReq set to true (which, in practice, seems to mean all JDBC queries), and it appears to only manifest when HiveServer2 is using the new HTTP transport mechanism. When both these conditions hold, we are able to fairly reliably reproduce the issue by spawning about 100 simple, concurrent hive queries (we have been using "show databases"), two or three of which typically fail. However, when either of these conditions do not hold, we are no longer able to reproduce the issue.

Some example stack traces from the HiveServer2 logs:
