    Thanks for your comments @vanzin !
    However that does not seem an accurate assessment.Before this patch, the 
script accepted only first parameter and set it to logDirectory.It did not care 
if user set it to blah.It did not care if —properties or -d were passed 
because it did not accept that way of args. But savvy users knew that absence 
to be a functionality disconnect.
    The essence of this patch is to remove the disconnect in HSArguments and 
script while maintaining backward compatibility.Anycase FsHistoryProvider 
validates blah is not really a blah.Users who use straight up directory will 
continue to do so, users who want to set properties file will do so now. And 
there can be permutations , but unharmful.With user education/documentation, 
one or more of this option can be discarded gradually.Please approve @vanzin 
@srowen .Thanks!
