-----------------------------------

             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.
