Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-6884: -------------------------------------------- While common practice, this result in lot of code uglyfication/noise. I'd rather suggest the following (we are doing this in Oozie): Create a Log wrapper, XLog which extends Log and provides the following additional methods: info(String msgTemplate, Object ... args) warn(String msgTemplate, Object ... args) debug(String msgTemplate, Object ... args) trace(String msgTemplate, Object ... args) In each one of these methods, if the log is enabled use the JDK MessageFormat class to create the log message and call the corresponding Log method, else do nothing. Caveat: the last args has to be tested for being a Throwable and if so the corresponding Log method with (String, Throwable) signature. > Add LOG.isDebugEnabled() guard for each LOG.debug("...") > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6884 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6884 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Erik Steffl > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-6884-0.22.patch > > > Each LOG.debug("...") should be executed only if LOG.isDebugEnabled() is > true, in some cases it's expensive to construct the string that is being > printed to log.
