Also, to update others who are following this conversation. The exception
reported in [SPARK-1407](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1407)
turned out to be due to not properly finishing the application (i.e. through
the shutdown hook triggered by System.exit without `sc.stop()`). This is not a
bug inherent in the event logging interface or the HistoryServer, AFAIK.
