From 9afcbe494a3535a9bf7958429b72e989972f82d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Or Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2014 15:48:02 -0800 Subject: [SPARK-4546] Improve HistoryServer first time user experience The documentation points the user to run the following ``` sbin/start-history-server.sh ``` The first thing this does is throw an exception that complains a log directory is not specified. The exception message itself does not say anything about what to set. Instead we should have a default and a landing page with a better message. The new default log directory is `file:/tmp/spark-events`. This is what it looks like as of this PR: ![after](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12682985/after.png) Author: Andrew Or Closes #3411 from andrewor14/minor-history-improvements and squashes the following commits: f33d6b3 [Andrew Or] Point user to set config if default log dir does not exist fc4c17a [Andrew Or] Improve HistoryServer UX --- docs/monitoring.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'docs/monitoring.md') diff --git a/docs/monitoring.md b/docs/monitoring.md index e3f81a76ac..f32cdef240 100644 --- a/docs/monitoring.md +++ b/docs/monitoring.md @@ -79,7 +79,7 @@ follows: spark.history.fs.logDirectory - (none) + file:/tmp/spark-events Directory that contains application event logs to be loaded by the history server -- cgit v1.2.3
