Alexander Dejanovski updated CASSANDRA-14326:
---------------------------------------------
    Description: 
CASSANDRA-10241 introduced debug logging turned on by default to act as a 
verbose system.log and help troubleshoot production issues. 

One of the consequence was to severely affect read performance in 2.2 as 
contributors weren't all up to speed on how to use logging levels 
(CASSANDRA-14318).

As DEBUG level has a very specific meaning in dev, it is confusing to use it 
for always on verbose logging and should probably not be used this way in 
Cassandra.

Options so far are :
 # Bring back common loggings to INFO level (compactions, flushes, etc...) and 
disable debug logging by default
 # Use files named as verbose-system.log instead of debug.log and use a custom 
logging level instead of DEBUG for verbose tracing, that would be enabled by 
default. Debug logging would still exist and be disabled by default in the root 
logger (not just filtered at the appender level).
