    > a. Its not convenient to have only one option to add the history server 
uri. I had to create a properties file to pass it to the dispatcher process. I 
would expect to pass it with --conf
    
    I agree, and we should change this at some point, but that's not the goal 
of this PR.
    
    > when you have one driver starting and stopping contexts then history link 
can only point to the very first context. I guess that is a limitation.
    
    Yea, it's a limitation.  The dispatcher knows about drivers, but the 
history server knows about apps (i.e. contexts), and this relationship is one 
to many.  This is a simple way to connect the two in the common case of 1 
driver having 1 context.  To solve the 1-to-many case, we'd need some way of 
the driver communicating back to the dispatcher for every context that it 
creates.  That's a more difficult problem, and I don't think it's worth solving 
right now.
