    Description

      HADOOP-2178 introduced the feature of saving jobhistory logs on HDFS.

      Unfortunately the following code:

              // setup the history log file for this job
              String logFileName = jobUniqueString +  
                                   "_" + user+ "_" + jobName;
              if (logFileName.length() > MAX_FILENAME_SIZE) {
                logFileName = logFileName.substring(0, MAX_FILENAME_SIZE-1);
              }
      

      is vulnerable to user-provided job names.

      Specifically I ran into 'URISyntaxException' with jobs whose names include a ":".

      The easy fix is to ensure that we do not use the human-friendly job names and only the jobid.

      The long term fix is to ensure that Path handles filenames with any characters.
