Heartbeating for streaming jobs should not depend on stdout
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-410
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-410
             Project: Hadoop Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Venky Iyer
            Priority: Blocker


jobs that require iterative processing may take longer than 10 mins to produce 
rows. This shouldn't be cause to kill the job. Producing keepalive dummy rows 
to stdout is bad if the data has to go into a Hive table or other Hive steps.

If we adopt the solution of using stderr to indicate heartbeats, can that be 
combined with streaming counters 
(http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/streaming.html#How+do+I+update+counters+in+streaming+applications%3F
 )? Also, will limitations on size of stderr break this?
