Naveen Gangam created HIVE-14672: ------------------------------------ Summary: Add timestamps to startup message in hive scripts. Key: HIVE-14672 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14672 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Hive Affects Versions: 2.0.0 Reporter: Naveen Gangam Assignee: Naveen Gangam Priority: Minor
if hive services are started as background processes (most certainly the case) with output from stdout and stderr redirected to a file, certain fatal errors, like OutOfMemoryErrors, are printed to stderr. Such errors often do not have a timestamp associated with it. So overtime, after multiple restarts of the hive processes, the stdout/err redirect log looks like this {code} Starting Hive Metastore Server Starting Hive Metastore Server Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Requested array size exceeds VM limit Starting Hive Metastore Server {code} It would be useful to have a timestamp associated with the "Starting Hive Metastore Server" message to help debug when such errors may have occurred so we could look in the corresponding logs to help narrow down the issue. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
