Brock Noland commented on HIVE-5208:
------------------------------------
Yeah I see this as a usability/supportability issue.
> Provide an easier way to capture DEBUG logging
> ----------------------------------------------

> Key: HIVE-5208
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5208
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CLI
> Affects Versions: 0.11.0
> Reporter: Harsh J
> Priority: Minor
>
> Capturing debug logging for troubleshooting is painful in Hive today:
> 1. It doesn't log anywhere by default.
> 2. We need to add a long "-hiveconf hive.root.logger=DEBUG,console" to the
> Hive CLI just to enable the debug flag, or set an equivalent env-var
> appropriately.
> I suggest we make this simpler via either one of the below:
> 1. Provide a wrapped binary, "hive-debug", so folks can simply re-run
> the "hive-debug" command and re-run their query and capture an output. This
> could also write to a pre-designated $PWD file.
> 2. Provide a simpler switch, such as "-verbose" that automatically
> toggles the flag instead, much like what Beeline does today already.
