Additional configuration tasks
You can increase or decrease the time for which the audit and event logs are retained in the system, after which they are auto-purged. You can also make DAS work with HiveServer2 in case your Hive deployment is not LLAP-enabled and does not have Hive Server Interactive.
Making DAS work with HiveServer 2
If your Hive deployment is not LLAP-enabled and does not have Hive Server Interactive, you need to update the configuration for DAS to work with HiveServer 2 as follows:
Go to use.hive.interactive.mode=true
to
use.hive.interactive.mode=false
Customizing the retention period of audit and event logs
Audit and event logs are written by Hive/Tez to HDFS for DAS to consume to generate DAG information. Once DAS consumes them, this information on HDFS is no longer required. They are cleaned automatically via a thread in HMS (Hive metastore).
The time to live count of the audit logs is defined in the
hive.hook.proto.events.ttl
parameter. By default, the logs are retained for
seven days. To configure a custom value:
-
From the Ambari UI, go to
and specify the time to live in thehive.hook.proto.events.ttl
parameter.For example, to retain the logs for 30 days, specify 30d.
Typically, a 30-day duration is useful if you want to download older DAG data.
- Restart Hive service.
