Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-10502:
--------------------------------------
Note that beeline-log4j.properties gets packaged into beeline jar, so only if
some user needs to customize the logs for beeline, they need to be aware of it.
I haven't seen useful messages at INFO level from beeline, so having it at WARN
level in beeline seemed like a good option. hive-log4j.properties is used by
servers as well, so having INFO as default for them seems to be appropriate.
Note that the logging returned from HS2 does not get controlled by the log4j
settings of beeline.
Sure, you can make the log4j location configurable for beeline, if you think
that is useful. But is that really the case ?

> 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.
