Thanks Nitin.

I believe the config key you mentioned controls the task attempts logs that
go under - ${hadoop.log.dir}/userlogs.

The ones that I mentioned are the job history logs that go under -
${hadoop.log.dir}/history
and are specified by the key "hadoop.job.history.location". Are these
cleaned up based on "mapred.userlog.retain.hours" too?

Also, this is what I am seeing in history dir

Available Conf files - Mar 3rd - April 5th
Available Job files   - Mar 3rd - April 3rd

There is no job file present after the 3rd of April, but conf files
continue to be written.

Thanks,
Prashant
