    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5208?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13759730#comment-13759730 ] 

Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-5208:
----------------------------------------

It's possible to modify the config file, or point at modified config file, for logging (hive-log4j.properties) also.

> 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.
