Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-12020: --------------------------------------- [~prasanth_j], in the descriptions for *hive.log4j.file* and *hive.exec.log4j.file* the example filenames weren't changed from ".xml" to ".properties" although they had been ".properties" before HIVE-11304 changed them to ".xml". Should they be ".xml" now? {code} HIVE_LOG4J_FILE("hive.log4j.file", "", "Hive log4j configuration file.\n" + - "If the property is not set, then logging will be initialized using hive-log4j2.xml found on the classpath.\n" + + "If the property is not set, then logging will be initialized using hive-log4j2.properties found on the classpath.\n" + "If the property is set, the value must be a valid URI (java.net.URI, e.g. \"file:///tmp/my-logging.xml\"), \n" + "which you can then extract a URL from and pass to PropertyConfigurator.configure(URL)."), HIVE_EXEC_LOG4J_FILE("hive.exec.log4j.file", "", "Hive log4j configuration file for execution mode(sub command).\n" + - "If the property is not set, then logging will be initialized using hive-exec-log4j2.xml found on the classpath.\n" + + "If the property is not set, then logging will be initialized using hive-exec-log4j2.properties found on the classpath.\n" + "If the property is set, the value must be a valid URI (java.net.URI, e.g. \"file:///tmp/my-logging.xml\"), \n" + "which you can then extract a URL from and pass to PropertyConfigurator.configure(URL)."), {code} > Revert log4j2 xml configuration to properties based configuration > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-12020 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12020 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Logging > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Prasanth Jayachandran > Assignee: Prasanth Jayachandran > Labels: TODOC2.0 > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-12020.1.patch, HIVE-12020.2.patch, > HIVE-12020.3.patch, HIVE-12020.4.patch, HIVE-12020.4.patch > > > Log4j 2.4 release brought back properties based configuration.
