Description

If spark.history.fs.logDirectory points to hdfs, then spark history server doesn't refresh jobs page. This is caused by Hadoop - during writing to the .inprogress file Hadoop doesn't update file length until close and therefor Spark's history server is not able to detect any changes.

I'm gonna submit a PR to fix this.
