Chaoyu Tang commented on HIVE-10502: ------------------------------------ [~szehon] I see the issue. What you did is to invoke Beeline application from the shell script 'beeline'. I think in hive shell script, which beeline uses, calls hadoop cmd to check HADOOP_VERSION if it is not found in env: HADOOP_VERSION=$($HADOOP version | awk '{if (NR == 1) {print $2;}}'); In script hadoop, it calls java org.apache.hadoop.util.VersionInfo, and try to locate the log4j.properties file in the path. Actually in beeline script, log4j.properties is specified as beeline-log4j.properties and passed to hadoop jar application for Beeline: export HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS="$HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS -Dlog4j.configuration=beeline-log4j.properties " So you might specify the beeline log4j.properties via HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS=-Dlog4j.configuration=anypath/anyfile.properties ? > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
