Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-6884:
--------------------------------------
The unanswered question is whether this patch does anything useful for the
project. Does it actually make Hadoop measurably faster? Shouldn't we
demonstrate that for optimizations that increase the code size, a cost/benefit
analysis?
> 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).
