Harsh J created HIVE-5208: ----------------------------- Summary: Provide an easier way to capture DEBUG logging Key: HIVE-5208 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5208 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: CLI Affects Versions: 0.11.0 Reporter: Harsh J Priority: Minor
Capturing debug logging for troubleshooting is painful in Hive today: 1. It doesn't log anywhere by default. 2. We need to add a long "-hiveconf hive.root.logger=DEBUG,console" to the Hive CLI just to enable the debug flag, or set an equivalent env-var appropriately. I suggest we make this simpler via either one of the below: 1. Provide a wrapped binary, "hive-debug", so folks can simply re-run the "hive-debug" command and re-run their query and capture an output. This could also write to a pre-designated $PWD file. 2. Provide a simpler switch, such as "-verbose" that automatically toggles the flag instead, much like what Beeline does today already. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
