> When customer wants to bump up log level of a cassandra class, here is the
> procedure they follow:
> # Add the class name and log level to log4j-server.properties into a revision
> identified directory.
> # The new directory is then symbolically linked to the location where
> cassandra looks for that directory.
> However cassandra and it's log4j continue to watch the old location
> The reason for this AbstractCassandraDaemon.initLog4j() uses this
> configFileName = new File(configLocation.toURI()).getCanonicalPath();
> The customer believes if we change that to the following, this will allow the
> symlink to work properly.
> configFileName = new File(configLocation.toURI()).getPath();
> If it were possible to add a configuration that would invoke this change on
> "True" that would be ideal. Or find another method to allow hotfixing the
> log4j changes.
