最近在监控中发现HiveServer2连接到zookeeper里的连接持续上涨，很奇怪，虽然知道HiveServer2支持并发连接，使用ZooKeeper来管理Hive表的读写锁，但我们的环境并不需要这些，我们已经关闭并发功能，以下是线上的配置，甚至把这些值都改成final了。
但是zookeeper连接依然会涨。后来想想，我们要访问的表是hive去映射的hbase，hiveserver2什么时候去连接zookeeper，它连接zookeeper干么，先从日志下手，将线上日志级别改为了debug，然后在hiveserver2.log发现了如下信息:
2016-02-23 14:03:30,271 DEBUG [HiveServer2-Background-Pool: Thread-598-SendThread(hadoop002:2181)]: zookeeper.ClientCnxn (ClientCnxn.java:readResponse(717)) - Got ping response for sessionid: 0x252fd37100600d2 after 0ms

这是个线程池，由SessionManager创建，但它是在何时创建的，从日志里一时不好看出来，所以在我们测试环境里对HiveServer2搞了个远程调试，启用远程调试步骤：
在/etc/hive/conf/conf.server下hive-env.sh里上方添加：#add by lidong for remote debug
export HADOOP_OPTS="$HADOOP_OPTS -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8888 -XX:NewRatio=12 -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=40 -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=15 -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit"
又经过近2天的折腾，终于搞明白了这个zookeeper连接是在Hive工程里的MapRedTask的execute(DriverContext driverContext) 方法里创建的：
...
if (!runningViaChild) { //这句很重要，解决就靠它了
// we are not running this mapred task via child jvm
// so directly invoke ExecDriver
return super.execute(driverContext);//就是这句，会调用hadoop里的JobClient去submitJob(job); 然后zookeeper连接就产生了
}
...
后面也再没去清理zookeeper的连接，导致就留下了
原因都清楚了，我选择了更为简单的处理办法，让控制runningViaChild的参数为true，让每个job在hiveserver2里都是子进程去提交，子进程结束，所有的资源都释放了
解决办法就是：
在hive-site.xml里，把
hive.exec.submitviachild 设置为true
调试的堆栈信息留个纪念：
