Paulo Motta commented on CASSANDRA-10241: ----------------------------------------- bq. our current debug logging level has a noticeably negative impact on performance, if turned on (this was the case when I first joined 2 years ago and was doing some analysis). as per CASSANDRA-9376, apparently the use of {{AsyncAppender}} mitigates a significant part of this overhead bq. I'd be inclined to introduce a specific low overhead (and very simple) framework for this. +1, but I think we can rely on this approach for the time being, and based on user output we can either turn {{debug.log}} into {{system.log}} (if there isn't much perceived difference between them) or implement this low overhead logging framework when we see an opportunity where we want to be even chattier than INFO+++. > Keep a separate production debug log for troubleshooting > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-10241 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10241 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Config > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Paulo Motta > Fix For: 2.1.x, 2.2.x, 3.0.x > > > [~aweisberg] had the suggestion to keep a separate debug log for aid in > troubleshooting, not intended for regular human consumption but where we can > log things that might help if something goes wrong. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
