CDPD-74680: DAG not retried after failure
7.3.1 and its higher versions
When executing a Hive query, if the ApplicationMaster container fails, Hive does not retry the DAG if the failure message contains some diagnostic information including a line break, leading to query failure (instead of retry).
None
HiveServer2 goes into a hung state intermittently
7.3.1 and its higher versions
HiveServer2 can intermittently hang or crash due to heap out-of-memory (OOM) errors triggered by the default 1 GB cache limit for fetch tasks. This occurs with certain queries that exceed the available heap space.
  1. Disable the fetch task caching feature by setting: hive.fetch.task.caching=false.
  2. You can adjust the hive.fetch.task.conversion.threshold property to a lower value in the megabyte range. The default value in Cloudera on premises 7.3.1 is 1 GB.
