Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-5834:
---------------------------------------
The current format quotes the character set ["\.]. The format is
key kind1="val1" kind2="val2"\n
with newlines in the values converted to '\n' and quotes converted to '\"'. We
should also consider how to represent counters better. The current format is
pretty painful.
> Job History log file format is not friendly for external tools.

> Reporter: Owen O'Malley

> Currently, parsing the job history logs with external tools is very difficult
> because of the format. The most critical problem is that newlines aren't
> escaped in the strings. That makes using tools like grep, sed, and awk very
> tricky.
