Angelo Polo reassigned CASSANDRA-14306: --------------------------------------- Assignee: Angelo Polo > Single config variable to specify logs path > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-14306 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14306 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Local/Config > Reporter: Angelo Polo > Assignee: Angelo Polo > Priority: Low > Fix For: 3.0.20, 3.11.6, 4.0, 4.0-alpha3 > > Attachments: unified_logs_dir.patch, unified_logs_dir_v2_3.11.patch, > unified_logs_dir_v2_trunk.patch > > > Motivation: All configuration should take place in bin/cassandra.in.sh (for > non-Windows) and the various conf/ files. In particular, bin/cassandra should > not need to be modified upon installation. In many installs, $CASSANDRA_HOME > is not a writable location, the yaml setting 'data_file_directories' is being > set to a non-default location, etc. It would be good to have a single > variable in an explicit conf file to specify where logs should be written. > For non-Windows installs, there are currently two places where the log > directory is set: in conf/cassandra-env.sh and in bin/cassandra. The defaults > for these are both $CASSANDRA_HOME/logs. These can be unified to a single > variable CASSANDRA_LOGS that is set in conf/cassandra-env.sh, with the > intention that it would be modified once there (if not set in the > environment) by a user running a custom installation. Then include a check in > bin/cassandra that CASSANDRA_LOGS is set in case conf/cassandra-env.sh > doesn't get sourced on startup, and provide a default value if not. For the > scenario that a user would prefer different paths for the logback logs and > the GC logs, they can still go into bin/cassandra to set the second path, > just as they would do currently. See "unified_logs_dir.patch" for a proposed > patch. > No change seems necessary for the Windows scripts. The two uses of > $CASSANDRA_HOME/logs are in the same script conf/cassandra-env.ps1 within > scrolling distance of each other (lines 278-301). They haven't been combined > I suppose because of the different path separators in the two usages. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cassandra.apache.org
