Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-9487: ---------------------------------------- No, I'm proposing a separate Commons Logging logger First, the classic log {code} Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(Configuration.class); {code} Now, a new one purely for deprecation {code} Log LOG_DEPRECATION = LogFactory.getLog("org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.deprecation"); {code} You log deprecation at info: {code} LOG_DEPRECATION.info("mapred.speculative.execution.slowNodeThreshold is deprecated") {code} Now you can tune deprecation warnings in Log4J {code} log4j.logger.org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration=INFO log4j.logger.org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.Deprecation=WARN {code} See? No new config options, just tuning log messages via Log4J, which is usuallyy the best place to do it > Deprecation warnings in Configuration should go to their own log or otherwise > be suppressible > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-9487 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9487 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: conf > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Steve Loughran > > Running local pig jobs triggers large quantities of warnings about deprecated > properties -something I don't care about as I'm not in a position to fix > without delving into Pig. > I can suppress them by changing the log level, but that can hide other > warnings that may actually matter. > If there was a special Configuration.deprecated log for all deprecation > messages, this log could be suppressed by people who don't want noisy logs -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
