> Since Hadoop 0.17, the job history logs include the job's name in the
> filename. However, this can lead to overly long filenames, because job names
> may be arbitrarily long. When a filename is too long for the underlying OS,
> file creation fails and the JobHistory class silently disables history from
> that point on. This can lead to days of lost history until somebody notices
> the error in the log.
> Proposed solution: Trim the job name to a reasonable length when selecting a
> filename for the history file.
