Yes i do mean the log is in the wrong location, since it was set to a persistent path in the $HIVE_CONF_DIR/lhive-log4j.properties.
None of the files in that directory appear to be picked up properly: neither the hive-site.xml nor log4j.properties. I have put echo statements into the 'hive" and the hive-config.sh shell scripts and the echo statements prove that HIVE_CONF_DIR is set properly: /shared/hive/conf But even so the following problems occur: - the message "hive-site.xml is not found in the classpath" - none of the hive-site.xml values are taking properly - the log4j.properties in that same directory is not taking effect. 2012/11/29 Bing Li <sarah.lib...@gmail.com> > Hi, Stephen > what did you mean the "wrong place under /tmp" in > "I am seeing the following message in the logs (which are in the wrong > place under /tmp..)" ? > > Did you mean that you set a different log dir but it didn't work? > > the log dir should be set in conf/hive-log4j.properties, > conf/hive-exec-log4j.properties > and you can try to reset HIVE_CONF_DIR in conf/hive-env.sh with ‘export" > command. > > - Bing > > > 2012/11/30 Stephen Boesch <java...@gmail.com> > >> thought i mentioned in the posts those were already set and verified.. >> but yes in any case that's first thing looked at. >> >> steve@mithril:~$ echo $HIVE_CONF_DIR >> /shared/hive/conf >> steve@mithril:~$ echo $HIVE_HOME >> /shared/hive >> >> >> 2012/11/29 kulkarni.swar...@gmail.com <kulkarni.swar...@gmail.com> >> >> Have you tried setting HIVE_HOME and HIVE_CONF_DIR? >>> >>> >>> On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 2:46 PM, Stephen Boesch <java...@gmail.com>wrote: >>> >>>> Yes. >>>> >>>> >>>> 2012/11/29 Shreepadma Venugopalan <shreepa...@cloudera.com> >>>> >>>>> Are you seeing this message when your bring up the standalone hive cli >>>>> by running 'hive'? >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 12:56 AM, Stephen Boesch <java...@gmail.com>wrote: >>>>> >>>>>> i am running under user steve. the latest log (where this shows up ) >>>>>> is /tmp/steve/hive.log >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> 2012/11/29 Viral Bajaria <viral.baja...@gmail.com> >>>>>> >>>>>>> You are seeing this error when you run the hive cli or in the >>>>>>> tasktracker logs when you run a query ? >>>>>>> >>>>>>> On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 12:42 AM, Stephen Boesch >>>>>>> <java...@gmail.com>wrote: >>>>>>> >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> I am seeing the following message in the logs (which are in the >>>>>>>> wrong place under /tmp..) >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> hive-site.xml not found on classpath >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> My hive-site.xml is under the standard location $HIVE_HOME/conf so >>>>>>>> this should not happen. >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> Now some posts have talked that the HADOOP_CLASSPATH was mangled. >>>>>>>> Mine is not.. >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> So what is the underlying issue here? >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> Thanks >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> stephenb >>>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>> >>>> >>> >>> >>> -- >>> Swarnim >>> >> >> >
