Default value for hadoop.job.history.location is broken
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-2872
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2872
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: mapred
    Affects Versions: 0.17.0
            Reporter: Owen O'Malley
            Assignee: Amareshwari Sri Ramadasu
             Fix For: 0.17.0


The default value for hadoop.job.history.location is currently:

file://${hadoop.log.dir}/history

which assumes that hadoop.log.dir is an absolute path. If the path is relative, 
the job tracker dies with:

08/02/21 23:43:04 FATAL mapred.JobTracker: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 
Wrong FS: file://./logs/history, expected: file:///

        at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobTracker.main(JobTracker.java:2146)

I think that the right fix is to make the default value:

"history"

and when building, use the Path code:

{code}
new Path(get("hadoop.log.dir", conf), get("hadoop.job.history.location"));
{code}
