Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-6884: ----------------------------------------- I have additional concerns about AOP. Herriot plans to introduce AOP based interfaces for exposing system internals. This should not be deployed on production clusters. Using AOP to check isDebugEnabled(), results in two flavors of AOP code. One that must be deployed on the system and the other that should not be. Confusion here could result in serious issues. Second, with AOP, if some one deploys the version without AOP based debug check, there is no way to know if the check is happening or not, by the system behavior alone. My vote is to keep it simple for now and check in the code changes that Erik has. This is a widely used java coding practice and not a huge code bloat. If others still feel that this causes code bloat, we could further choose one of the choices proposed in the jira. At that time, we need to any way remove all debug enabled checks that are currently being made. > 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.
