Amareshwari Sri Ramadasu commented on HADOOP-2178: -------------------------------------------------- This patch logs history in hadoop.job.history.location whose default value is local file system. In addition to that it logs at hadoop.job.history.user.location whose default value isuser output directory. And now the history jsp files are in seperate webapps i.e src/webapps/history, ratherthan in src/webapps/job . We start a statushttpserver from job tracker with hadoop.job.history.location as history log directory and view history files. This page is linked from job tracker. User can view history files in output directory by giving the following command bin/hadoop job -history <outputdir> This will start a jetty on that machine and user can view the jsps of the history directory he has given. Now we have centralised location of history as "hadoop.job.history.location" . > Job history on HDFS > ------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2178 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2178 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Reporter: Amareshwari Sri Ramadasu > Assignee: Amareshwari Sri Ramadasu > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > Attachments: patch-2178.txt > > > This issue addresses the following items : > 1.
