Thejas M Nair updated HIVE-4513:
--------------------------------
Description:
HiveHistory log files (hive_job_log_hive_*.txt files) store information about
hive query such as query string, plan , counters and MR job progress
information.
There is no mechanism to delete these files and as a result they get
accumulated over time, using up lot of disk space.
I don't think this is used by most people, so I think it would better to turn
this off by default. Jobtracker logs already capture most of this information,
though it is not as structured as history logs.

HIVE-4500 is introducing a new config parameter to turn this off, we should use
that to turn this off by default.
