Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-4513:
--------------------------------------
This adds the configuration parameter *hive.session.history.enabled* in
HiveConf.java and hive-default.xml.template, so it needs to be documented in
the wiki here:
* [Hive Configuration Properties |
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties]
> 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.
