After posting my question, I did some digging and also found the log4j categories. Unfortunately, setting them to DEBUG in hive-log4j.properties has no effect.
I will look into log4jdbc. Thanks for pointing it out.

Another option which may work is better is to use the log4jdbc proxy driver: http://code.google.com/p/log4jdbc/ Hope this helps.

I'd like to see Hive CLI log all SQL queries that are issued to MySQL. What config/property should I set to accomplish this? Thanks. Steven
