Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-6884:
--------------------------------------

This bloats the code when the logged string is a constant.  Also, in the vast 
majority of cases, this is not a significant optimization.  I'd rather keep 
most code more readable and only perform the check in performance-critical code.

> Add LOG.isDebugEnabled() guard for each LOG.debug("...")

> 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. It's much easier to always use LOG.isDebugEnabled() because 
> it's easier to check (rather than in each case reason whether it's necessary 
> or not).
