Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-9721: -------------------------------------------- +1 > Incorrect logging.properties file for hadoop-httpfs > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-9721 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9721 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: build, conf > Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha > Environment: Maven 3.0.2 on CentOS6.2 > Reporter: Mark Grover > Assignee: Mark Grover > Fix For: 3.0.0, 2.1.0-beta > > Attachments: HADOOP-9721.1.patch > > > Tomcat ships with a default logging.properties file that's generic enough to > be used however we already override it with a custom log file as seen at > https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/trunk/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs-httpfs/pom.xml#L557 > This is necessary because we can have the log locations controlled by > httpfs.log.dir env variable (instead of default catalina.base/logs), control > the prefix of the log files names, etc. > In any case, this overriding doesn't always happen. In my environment, the > custom logging.properties file doesn't get overridden. The reason is the > destination logging.properties file already exists and the maven pom's copy > command silently fails and doesn't override. If we explicitly delete the > destination logging.properties file, then the copy command successfully > completes. You may notice, we do the same thing with server.xml (which > doesn't have this problem). We explicitly delete the destination file first > and then copy it over. We should do the same with logging.properties as well. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
