I have searched online but could not find a comprehensive introduction on
how Hive organize logs and naming convention. By that, I mean hive client
specifically, not hadoop logs.

I have seen various logs as below.

1. Hive shell log
/tmp/{user.name}/hive.log

2. Hive history file for a job
/tmp/{user.name}/hive_job_log_{job id}.txt

3. Hive execution log
/tmp/{user.name}/hive_{some random unique number}.log

4. Other logs
/tmp/{user.name}/hive_{some random unique number}.pipeout but always empty.

Can anyone point me to some page where this is documented in details?
Thanks very much.

by default hive reads the logging related configs from
hive-log4j.default in conf directory.
if you want the cwiki page, here it is
https://cwiki.apache.org/Hive/languagemanual-cli.html#LanguageManualCli-Logging

Thanks Nitin.

I also found this wiki. But it only documented the hive client log. What
about other log files created during a query?
