stack commented on HBASE-5655: ------------------------------ OK. Lets target the singularity then. Will need fat release note and yeah, an incompatible change but for the sake of better usability. Thanks lads. > Cap space usage of default log4j rolling policy > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5655 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5655 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.92.1 > Reporter: Himanshu Vashishtha > Assignee: Himanshu Vashishtha > > The current default log4j policy is to use Daily Rolling File Appender > (DRFA). At times, its good to have a cap on the maximum size of the logs in > order to limit its disk usage. Here is a proposal to set a new file appemder > (RFA) as the default appender. It can be configured via env so that existing > tools can use the current behavior of using DRFA instead. > This is in parallel with jira Hadoop-8149. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
