After researching on the web, the lost log lines is apparently an issue with DailyRollingFileAppender that may have been fixed in 1.2.16 (see https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43374).
On the other hand, DailyRollingFileAppender's documentation recommends using RollingFileAppender to avoid "synchronization issues and data loss." On the third hand, I really should look into using separate log files for separate Hive clients. Interleaved log lines from concurrent Hive clients make debugging difficult.

What I'm seeing is that many log lines are "lost" after hive.log is rolled over to hive.log.YYYY-MM-DD. Is this an issue with DRFA? What do folks do to avoid this problem when using concurrent Hive clients? Thanks. Steven
