Quick start for seeing log/debug messages?

[Ben Wing]

I'm not very familiar with the whole log framework for Hadoop, and on top of this Scoobi seems to have HadoopLogFactory, which is barely documented.

All I want to do is the equivalent of a print statement inside of the part of the code that gets run in a mapper or reducer, but normal output to either stdout or stderr seems to disappear.  Scoobi itself outputs various INFO and WARN log messages.

Can someone explain to me how I can do this using HadoopLogFactory or anything else provided by Scoobi?

Thanks.
