Hi, I modified the default settings for logging in HBASE, by editing log4j.properties in $HBASE_HOME/conf directory. Here is settings, ... # Rolling File Appender properties hbase.log.maxfilesize=256MB hbase.log.maxbackupindex=15
# Rolling File Appender log4j.appender.RFA=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.RFA.File=${hbase.log.dir}/${hbase.log.file} log4j.appender.RFA.MaxFileSize=${hbase.log.maxfilesize} log4j.appender.RFA.MaxBackupIndex=${hbase.log.maxbackupindex} ... I set hbase.log.maxbackupindex to 15, old value was 20. Rolling restarted the cluster, by restarting one daemon at a time. But when I checked the logs directory, there is still 20 log files for HBase master daemon. Does that mean that configs aren't working, or I should wait until the log remover will run and delete unnecessary logs? Thank you.
