Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-6884:
---------------------------------------------

Luke> The problem with the current approach is that you'd have to keep patching 
people's new code manually.

I understand that Erik has a script, which automates the process of finding 
calls to {{debug()}} unguarded with {{isDebugEnabled()}}. If we run it as a 
target of ant build, we can enforce people to maintain the guards automatically.

> 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).
