    Description

      I am using Hive 2.3.3.
       
      According to docs (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Locking), they are ephemeral. But in the Zookeeper and Hive source Code, they seemed to be non-ephemeral. 
       
      I ran the following query in Hive.
       
      lock table discovery.defaultns
       
      When I see the lock in zookeeper, it doesn't look like ephemeral node.
       
      [zk: localhost:2181(CONNECTED) 55] get /hive_zookeeper_namespace/discovery/defaultns/LOCK-EXCLUSIVE-0000000000

      mZxid = 0x2400296808
      mtime = Mon Nov 12 19:15:55 IST 2018
      pZxid = 0x2400296808
      cversion = 0
      dataVersion = 0
      aclVersion = 0
      ephemeralOwner = 0x0
      dataLength = 134
      numChildren = 0
       
      Also in the code - https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/lockmgr/HiveTxnManagerImpl.java, the lock is KeepAlive/PERSISTENT and not EPHIMERAL. Current code is
       
      HiveLock lck = lockMgr.lock(new HiveLockObject(tbl, lockData), mode, true); 

      Either the docs are misleading or code is incorrect.

      If docs are correct, then it should be

      HiveLock lck = lockMgr.lock(new HiveLockObject(tbl, lockData), mode, false); 

      The patch is the same. 

      Please correct me if I am wrong. This is my first ever Jira/Patch in Hive
