             Summary: Remove Thread Cache From Logging
                 Key: HIVE-16873
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16873
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Metastore
            Reporter: BELUGA BEHR
            Priority: Minor


In {{org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore}} we have a {{Formatter}} 
class tied to every thread for logging.

{code}
    public static final String AUDIT_FORMAT =
        "ugi=%s\t" + // ugi
            "ip=%s\t" + // remote IP
            "cmd=%s\t"; // command
    public static final Logger auditLog = LoggerFactory.getLogger(
        HiveMetaStore.class.getName() + ".audit");
    private static final ThreadLocal<Formatter> auditFormatter =
        new ThreadLocal<Formatter>() {
          @Override
          protected Formatter initialValue() {
            return new Formatter(new StringBuilder(AUDIT_FORMAT.length() * 4));
          }
        };

...

    private static final void logAuditEvent(String cmd) {
      final Formatter fmt = auditFormatter.get();
      ((StringBuilder) fmt.out()).setLength(0);

      String address = getIPAddress();
      if (address == null) {
        address = "unknown-ip-addr";
      }

      auditLog.info(fmt.format(AUDIT_FORMAT, ugi.getUserName(),
          address, cmd).toString());
    }
{code}

I would suggest that we simply let let the logging framework itself handle 
these kind of details.
