stack commented on HBASE-5655: ------------------------------ Did you intend to change this H? {code} -hbase.root.logger=INFO,console +hbase.root.logger=DEBUG,console {code} I think you should add more comment in hbase-env.sh suggesting DRFA if folks want the old behavior (though it has issues -- point to this issue?). Good stuff > 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 > Attachments: 5655-v1.patch > > > 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.
