Changing Hive Job Log Path

We've started noticing that some of the hive job logs (hive_job_log_mtucker_201201251355_374625982.txt) can become very big, some upwards of 800MB.

I've tried modifying the Log4J settings to write to a different directory, but the job logs still end up writing to /tmp/`whoami`/.  Am I overlooking a configuration setting that will let me put these into another directory that has more available space on its mount point?

Thanks

Matt Tucker

Try changing one of following property in file listed before them :

hive-exec-log4j.properties:hive.log.dir=/tmp/${user.name}
hive-log4j.properties:hive.log.dir=/tmp/${user.name}
