I filed hive-site.xml in HIVE_HOME/conf and add the following setting, <property> <name>hive.querylog.location</name> <value></value> </property> BUT it didn't work, when launch HIVE_HOME/bin/hive, it created a history file in /tmp/<user.name<http://user.name>> which is the default directory of this property. Do you know how to set an EMPTY value in hive-site.xml? Thanks, - Bing
