Thejas M Nair created HIVE-4513:
-----------------------------------
Summary: disable hivehistory logs by default
Key: HIVE-4513
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4513
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Configuration, Logging
Reporter: Thejas M Nair
Assignee: Thejas M Nair
HiveHistory log files (hive_job_log_hive_*.txt files) store information about
hive query such as query string, plan , counters and MR job progress
information.
There is no mechanism to delete these files and as a result they get
accumulated over time, using up lot of disk space.
I don't think this is used by most people, so I think it would better to turn
this off by default. Jobtracker logs already capture most of this information,
though it is not as structured as history logs.
HIVE-4500 is introducing a new config parameter to turn this off, we should use
that to turn this off by default.
