Tomohiko Kinebuchi commented on HADOOP-8008: -------------------------------------------- I become the assignee, but I cannot edit the Wiki page "HowToConfigure". Could I have a grant to edit? > Document how to change the default loglevels > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8008 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8008 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: documentation > Reporter: Eli Collins > Assignee: Tomohiko Kinebuchi > Labels: newbie > > The hadoop.root.logger defined in log4j.properties is only used by > applications. The scripts (bin and daemons) always set it to > HADOOP_ROOT_LOGGER or "INFO,console" so the installed log4j.properties > appears to be ignored. The wiki doesn't cover this: > http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToConfigure > We should update the cluster setup docs to indicate how the loglevel is > configured and also add a comment in log4j.properties that the > hadoop.root.logger defined there is not used by Hadoop itself, that > HADOOP_ROOT_LOGGER must be set. This is relevant for commands and daemons, > though the latter also has daemonlog > (http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/commands_manual.html#daemonlog). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
