HistoryViewer usage string is misleading.
-----------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-4123
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4123
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: mapred
Reporter: Vinod K V
$ hadoop job -history
Usage: JobClient [-history <jobOutputDir>]
The input is actually a history-location (for e.g., specified by
hadoop.job.history.user.location) which happens to default to a jobOutputDir.
The usage string should reflect this.
Also the restriction for history files to be in a _logs/history sub-directory
is stringent. This could be changed so that history can be directly put in
hadoop.job.history.user.location similar to how we store directly in
hadoop.job.history.location. Seems like _logs/history is only intended to be
used in conjuction with jobOutputDir, as a default location.
