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("...") > -------------------------------------------------------- > > 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 > Assignee: Erik Steffl > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-6884-0.22-1.patch, 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. 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). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
