Luca Telloli commented on HADOOP-3133:
--------------------------------------

Additionally, log-destination-uri has a different behavior where set on hdfs:// 
or file:// . 
If used like hdfs://destination, the final tars will be under: 
destination/$USER/hod-logs/$JOBID 
while on a file-system it would be just under destination. 

I think that the syntax for the [hodring] section should be enriched in such a 
way that  different parameters/variables can be accessed for storing logs, like 
$USER or $JOBID, especially on a non HDFS filesystem (where they'd take much 
less space). for instance by specifying a path like file://dir/$USER/$JOBID. 

I made a test creating manually the dir/$USER directory, then passing the 
variable $USER with log-destination-uri=file:///dir/$USER, and it worked, but 
since the job id is not visible to bash, it is not possible to have a directory 
user/job. 

> [HOD] hodring.log-destination-uri should be set to a default value

> In the current setup, we do not insist a value for 
> hodring.log-destination-uri which is used to store tarred hadoop logs. Now, 
> if there is a hadoop start up problem, the cluster could get automatically 
> deallocated. However, the hadoop logs would be lost too, as the above 
> configuration parameter does not have a default value.
> Possibly this should be set to atleast file:///<local file system> path so 
> that the logs will be saved.
