Description

trunk and hive 0.14 based builds no longer have hive-log4j.properties in the jars. This means that in default tar, unless hive-log4j.properties is created in conf dir (from hive-log4j.properties.template file), hive cli is much more verbose in what is printed to console. Hiveserver2 fails to come up, as it errors out with -
org.apache.hadoop.hive.common.LogUtils$LogInitializationException: Unable to initialize logging using hive-log4j.properties, not found on CLASSPATH!
