Mohit Sikri commented on HIVE-1508: ----------------------------------- Great finding, but how do we curtail(or put the limit to) the number of these files generated, since I don't see any mechanism of deleting such files (say deleting the files older than an hour or so), they may eventually pile up to the extent of consuming significant disk space. I don't see any significance of these files once session expires or keeping too old session information within such files. Kindly suggest. > Add cleanup method to HiveHistory class > --------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1508 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1508 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore, Server Infrastructure > Reporter: Anurag Phadke > Assignee: Edward Capriolo > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > Attachments: hive-1508-1-patch.txt > > > Running hive server for long time > 90 minutes results in too many open > file-handles, eventually causing the server to crash as the server runs out > of file handle. > Actual bug as described by Carl Steinbach: > the hive_job_log_* files are created by the HiveHistory class. This class > creates a PrintWriter for writing to the file, but never closes the writer. > It looks like we need to add a cleanup method to HiveHistory that closes the > PrintWriter and does any other necessary cleanup. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
