 - If you don't provide a path, the log provider writes to the current directory of the host. If the current user doesn't have permission to write to the current directory of the host, the log provider raises an error.
 - You can't use an environment variable in a file path. If you specify an environment variable, the literal text that you specify appears in the file path. For example, if you specify `%TMP%/log.txt`, the log provider appends the literal text `/%TMP%/log.txt` to the current host directory.

 ### Limitations and restrictions for Azure Synapse Analytics
 
 - In [!INCLUDE [ssazuresynapse-md](../../includes/ssazuresynapse-md.md)] dedicated SQL pools, and [!INCLUDE [ssaps-md](../../includes/ssaps-md.md)], PolyBase can consume a maximum of 33,000 files per folder when running 32 concurrent PolyBase queries. This maximum number includes both files and subfolders in each HDFS folder. If the degree of concurrency is less than 32, a user can run PolyBase queries against folders in HDFS that contain more than 33,000 files. We recommend that users of Hadoop and PolyBase keep file paths short and use no more than 30,000 files per HDFS folder. When too many files are referenced, a JVM out-of-memory exception occurs.
