When running a test that fails, I can get the output diff and the hive log, but when the failure occurs in the query execution, I don't see how I can retrieve whatever was logged by the execution.
For example, I can see in the target\qfile-results\...q.out: PREHOOK: query: SELECT cint, ... AND (ctinyint > cbigint))) PREHOOK: type: QUERY PREHOOK: Input: default@alltypesorc PREHOOK: Output: file:/Users/rremus/Development/hive/itests/qtest/target/tmp/localscratchdir/hive_2014-02-06_12-17-05_641_8095220136958689426-1/-mr-10000 Execution failed with exit status: 2 Obtaining error information Task failed!

In this case, I'm missing the output from the MR job that failed. Is there a way for me to get this missing output? Thanks, ~Remus
