Also, from this description it's not clear to me when I should set this. If
I'm trying to start a history server independently, I might get confused about
this parameter and try to use it to change the port. On the other hand, if I'm
using YARN and I want to point my AM to the history server, I won't know what
this parameter actually does until I grep for it in the code.
