Description

Depending on how each application's metadata is stored, one week's worth of data stored in the Generic Application History Server's database can grow to be almost a terabyte of local disk space. In order to alleviate this, I suggest that there is a need for a configuration option to turn off saving of non-AM container metadata in the GAHS data store.
