Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-4513:
-------------------------------------
[~thiruvel] Thanks for the feedback and pointers to the duplicate jiras. Yes, I
think it is better to address thread safety issue in another jira, as it is not
a regression introduced by this patch, the issue was there when the function
was in HiveHistory.java (but I should have noticed the bug!)
> disable hivehistory logs by default

> 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.
