------------------------------------------
Summary: Remove redundant HushableRandomAccessFileAppender
Key: HIVE-26014
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-26014
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HiveServer2
Reporter: Stamatis Zampetakis
Assignee: Stamatis Zampetakis
[HushableRandomAccessFileAppender|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/d3cd596aa15ebedd58f99628d43a03eb2f5f3909/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/log/HushableRandomAccessFileAppender.java]
was introduced by HIVE-17826 to avoid exceptions originating from attempts to
write to a closed appender.
After the changes in HIVE-24590, the life-cycle (opening/closing/deleting) of
appenders is managed by the Log4j framework and not explicitly by Hive as it
used to be before. With HIVE-24590 in place, it is no longer possible to have
the exception in HIVE-17826 cause appenders are opened and closed when
necessary.
Due to the above, the {{HushableRandomAccessFileAppender}} is completely
redundant and can be removed in favor of the {{RandomAccessFileAppender}}
already provided by the Log4j framework.
