Enable Debug Logging for YARN Application in Hive

Cloudera
When troubleshooting Hadoop related issues, we constantly need to enable DEBUG level logging so that we can see more what Hadoop is doing when running jobs. This blog post in particular shows how you can enable DEBUG logging for YARN application jobs when you run them through Hive. To do so, it is simple. Just add below three lines before you run your query in Hive session: 
SET mapreduce.map.log.level=DEBUG;
SET mapreduce.reduce.log.level=DEBUG;
SET yarn.app.mapreduce.am.log.level=DEBUG;
This will turn on Mapper, Reducer and Application Master log to DEBUG level. If you just need one of them, then simply remove the other ones. Then you can just run your query as normal: 
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tablename;
Before enabling the DEBUG in Mapper log:
