Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-4588:
---------------------------------------------
Can leave the rolling file appender commented out in the default, so users have
a sense of where to start looking if they aren't familiar with log4j options,
but it doesn't have to be on by default out of the box.
> Simplify Accumulo logging configuration
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-4588
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4588
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: logger
> Reporter: Mike Walch
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> The current implementation of Accumulo logging configuration is confusing.
> There are several configuration files in the conf/ dir and it is hard to know
> which ones are used in which situation. With the refactoring of Accumulo's
> scripts in 2.0, it should be easier now to refactor Accumulo's logging.
> Below are some suggest improvements brought up during code reviews:
> Regarding generic_logger.properties...
> - Rather than produce these system properties in Accumulo code, we should use
> the log4j feature to do ${sys:HOSTNAME} (might be log4j2 only, but that's
> okay... we should switch to that)
> - Maybe we shouldn't enable the rolling file appender in the default configs.
> Users can add that if they want to. A better option would probably be to use
> the syslog appender by default.
