Large PID files in dremio/log directory, huh?

Some clarifications:

  • DREMIO_PID_DIR only changes the destination directory for dremio.pid file (which is used to keep track of running Dremio process.
  • By default, java_pid<id>.hprof are written under DREMIO_LOG_DIR.
  • Those files are memory dump files, not pid files (they contain pid in their name because the id is the process id of the process whose file originated from). They are debugging information, totally safe to remove.
