------------------------------------
Summary: Strange behavior when configuring Logback for logging
Key: FLINK-7990
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7990
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Logging, Configuration
Reporter: Fabian Hueske
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 1.4.0, 1.3.3
The following issue was reported on the [user
mailinglist|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/c06a9f0b1189bf21d946d3d9728631295c88bfc57043cdbe18409d52@%3Cuser.flink.apache.org%3E]

I have a single node Flink instance which has the required jars for logback in
the lib folder (logback-classic.jar, logback-core.jar, log4j-over-slf4j.jar). I
have removed the jars for log4j from the lib folder (log4j-1.2.17.jar,
slf4j-log4j12-1.7.7.jar). 'logback.xml' is also correctly updated in 'conf'
folder. I have also included 'logback.xml' in the classpath, although this does
not seem to be considered while the job is run. Flink refers to logback.xml
inside the conf folder only. I have updated pom.xml as per Flink's
documentation in order to exclude log4j. I have some log entries set inside a
few map and flatmap functions and some log entries outside those functions (eg:
"program execution started").
When I run the job, Flink writes only those logs that are coded outside the
transformations. Those logs that are coded inside the transformations (map,
flatmap etc) are not getting written to the log file. If this was happening
always, I could have assumed that the Task Manager is not writing the logs. But
Flink displays a strange behavior regarding this. Whenever I update the logback
jars inside the the lib folder(due to version changes), during the next job
run, all logs (even those inside map and flatmap) are written correctly into
the log file. But the logs don't get written in any of the runs after that.
This means that my 'logback.xml' file is correct and the settings are also
correct. But I don't understand why the same settings don't work while the same
job is run again.
