When I run hive, the derby.log will be created in the current directory. I was looking around and found that if I create derby.properties and add the line derby.stream.error.file=/hadoop/hive/logs/hadoop/derby.log, then the derby.log will be created in the directory that was specified in the derby.properties file.
But if I am not in the same directory as to where the derby.properties is located, then the annoying derby.log will be created in the current directory again. Is there a way to specify in hive / derby so that it knows where to look for the derby.properties file? Thanks in advance.
