Harsh J resolved HADOOP-1078. ----------------------------- Resolution: Not A Problem I think we've long since switched over to using the .class attribute. Resolving as not a problem anymore. > Improve logging > --------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1078 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1078 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Philippe Gassmann > > Loggers in hadoop are created using LogFactory.getLog("some package styled > things"); > This is very confusing since the string specified in getLog() sometime is the > class name sometime not. (eg : the class org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Task > contains a logger created by > LogFactory.getLog("org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskRunner"); which is very > confusing) > I think that logger should be always created using > LogFactory.getLog(MyClass.class); and that if a class needs a logger, then a > specific logger must be crated for that class (ie: loggers are private). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
