Tim Allison commented on TIKA-3164: ----------------------------------- I'm really grateful that POI has moved to log4j2 (today's news notwithstanding)... The amount of new, effective logging is several orders of magnitude larger than 4.x. I had 36MB of logs with 4.x on ~400k MSOffice files, and my log for 5.x will probably be around 5GB once the run is complete. I'm wondering if we should configure default logging in tika-app and tika-server to turn off POI's logging or if we should add massive warnings in the release notes? Something like this that would allow XMLHelper's warning? [~pj.fanning] and fellow Tika devs, what do you think? {noformat} <!-- effectively turn off the logging for POI 5.x but leave the xmlhelper to warn--> <Logger name="org.apache.poi.util.XMLHelper" level="INFO" additivity="false"> <AppenderRef ref="Console"/> </Logger> <Logger name="org.apache.poi" level="ERROR" additivity="false"> <AppenderRef ref="Console"/> </Logger> {noformat} > Upgrade to POI 5.0.0 when available > ----------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-3164 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3164 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Tim Allison > Priority: Major > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
