Szehon Ho commented on HIVE-10502:
----------------------------------
Hey Chaoyu, did you check the static initialization of the VersionInfo class,
as I posted in the stack? It does attempt to read the log4j.properties file
and picks a random one. But you might be right, it may not log at all via
log4j, can you verify with a few commands whether log4j is ever called?
> Cannot specify log4j.properties file location in Beeline

> Key: HIVE-10502
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10502
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Beeline
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Reporter: Szehon Ho
> Assignee: Chaoyu Tang
>
> In HiveCLI, HiveServer2, HMS, etc, the following is called early in the
> startup to initialize log4j logging: LogUtils.initHiveLog4j().
> However, seems like this is not the case in Beeline, which also needs log4j
> like as follows:
> {noformat}
> at org.apache.log4j.LogManager.<clinit>(LogManager.java:127)
> at org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerFactory.getLogger(Log4jLoggerFactory.java:66)
> at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoggerFactory.java:270)
> at
> org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SLF4JLogFactory.getInstance(SLF4JLogFactory.java:156)
> at
> org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SLF4JLogFactory.getInstance(SLF4JLogFactory.java:132)
> at org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.getLog(LogFactory.java:657)
> at org.apache.hadoop.util.VersionInfo.<clinit>(VersionInfo.java:37)
> {noformat}
> It would be good to specify it, so it doesn't pick the first one in the
> classpath.
