Joydeep Sen Sarma commented on HIVE-176:
----------------------------------------

still reviewing this.

one problem is that the HiveHistory is not thread safe (and this matters for 
multithreaded thrift/web servers). It looks like there is one history per 
session - right? In which case - can you just put a hivehistory object as part 
of sessionstate? Sessionstate captures all the session specific stuff - and is 
maintained thread local. when a new sessionstate is created - the hivehistory 
can be created within it.

also - a little uncomfortable with the fixed /tmp setting for the history file. 
It would be good to have a new option in HiveConf for the history file 
directory. This would something that admins would want to tweak for the hive 
server deployments (hadoop has a similar one) and users would want to tweak to 
get all their history files in a standard location. (The default  could be same 
as SCRATCHDIR that's already defined in HiveConf.

will send comments on the rest of the stuff asap.
