Hi all,

I'm looking at changing the Kafka default logging setup to use the
RollingFileAppender instead of the DailyRollingFileAppender in an effort to
accomplish two goals:
1) Avoid filling up users' disks if the log files grow unexpectedly
2) Move off the admittedly unreliable DailyRollingFileAppender

I wanted to know if the community has any feedback around this before
moving forward.  The main drawback with going to the RollingFileAppender is
that the log file names will no longer have timestamps, but instead be of
the form server.log, server.log.1, etc.  What users are depending on the
file name convention and would need to rollback the log4j configuration
should the default change in a later version?  What sort of feedback can
those users provide to help us document this the right way?

Thanks,
