Aaron Glahe commented on ACCUMULO-1470: --------------------------------------- This is based on, from what I can tell, the WAL being written into the "/accumulo" on the DFS. However, what is weird, is that even though I had the default (walogs), the DIR that was created was "wal." In looking over the code, the LOGGER_DIR property does have the default set to "walogs", but when looking at org.apache.accumulo.core.Constants: /** * @param conf * @return The write-ahead log directory. */ public static String getWalDirectory(final AccumuloConfiguration conf) { return getBaseDir(conf) + "/wal"; } which is where I BELIEVE (not sure) that being used instead of the LOGGER_DIR. > logger.dir.walog description should say that the WAL is stored on the "HDFS > filesystem" > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ACCUMULO-1470 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1470 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Bug > Components: tserver > Affects Versions: 1.5.0 > Reporter: Aaron Glahe > Priority: Trivial > > Currently description for logger.dir.walog: > <description>The directory used to store write-ahead logs on the local > filesystem.
