Otto Fowler commented on METRON-2195:
-------------------------------------
Simon, that has to do the the formatting of the string. The toJSONString()
execution is NOT under the domain of log4j, rather the result of the execution
is passed as the parameter input.
> Add defensive log level checks when constructing logs is expensive

> Key: METRON-2195
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-2195
> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Otto Fowler
> Priority: Critical
>
> There are instances where we log, and output strings for json objects and
> other things that are quite expensive.
> These are done regardless of the log level being enabled and can increase
> performance significantly:

> https://github.com/apache/metron/blob/master/metron-platform/metron-writer/metron-writer-storm/src/main/java/org/apache/metron/writer/hdfs/HdfsWriter.java#L127
> We need to find places where this happens, and employ the best practice check
> for the log level being enabled ( best practice if your parameters or log
> message construction takes a lot of time ).
