Zhe Zhang commented on HDFS-4486:
---------------------------------
My current plan is to follow this page to generate an extended logger class:
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/customloglevels.html. I haven't seen
these kind of extended logger classes in the Hadoop project though. So please
let me know if you think there's a better approach.
> Add log category for long-running DFSClient notices

> Key: HDFS-4486
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4486
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Zhe Zhang
> Priority: Minor
>
> There are a number of features in the DFS client which are transparent but
> can make a fairly big difference for performance -- two in particular are
> short circuit reads and native checksumming. Because we don't want log spew
> for clients like "hadoop fs -cat" we currently log only at DEBUG level when
> these features are disabled. This makes it difficult to troubleshoot/verify
> for long-running perf-sensitive clients like HBase.
> One simple solution is to add a new log category - eg
> o.a.h.h.DFSClient.PerformanceAdvisory - which long-running clients could
> enable at DEBUG level without getting the full debug spew.
