YARN Log Aggregation

The YARN Log Aggregation option aggregates and moves log files for completed applications from the local file system to the MapR Data Platform MapR File System. This allows users to view the entire set of logs for a particular application using the HistoryServer UI or by running the yarn logs command.

By default, YARN container logs are not aggregated on the MapR Data Platform MapR File System. Instead, the logs are retained for 3 hours on the local file system before they are deleted. To enable YARN log aggregation or to edit the configuration of YARN log aggregation, you must edit the yarn-site.xml file in the following directory: /opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-2.x.x/etc/hadoop/
