Philippe Gassmann commented on HADOOP-1078:
-------------------------------------------

Also the use of StringUtils.stringifyException should be avoided in log 
messages eg : 
This code is *wrong* : LOG.error("Expire Launching Task Thread got exception: " 
+ StringUtils.stringifyException(e)); 
This code is *good* : LOG.error("Expire Launching Task Thread got exception: ", 
e);

> Improve logging

> Loggers in hadoop are created using LogFactory.getLog("some package styled 
> things"); 
> This is very confusing since the string specified in getLog() sometime is the 
> class name sometime not. (eg : the class org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Task 
> contains a logger created by 
> LogFactory.getLog("org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskRunner"); which is very 
> confusing)
> I think that logger should be always created using  
> LogFactory.getLog(MyClass.class); and that if a class needs a logger, then a 
> specific logger must be crated for that class (ie: loggers are private).
