Guozhang Wang commented on KAFKA-1350: -------------------------------------- I think if the corresponding level is not triggered, it should not invoke the string.format function. This is a small test I did: ---- object TestMisc extends Logging { def main(args: Array[String]) { var count = 0 info("INFO Printed %d".format({count+=1;count})) debug("DEBUG Printed %d".format({count+=1;count})) println("Final Count %d".format(count)) } } ---- with log4j at INFO the output: ---- [2014-03-31 11:47:07,243] INFO INFO Printed 1 (kafka.TestMisc$) Final Count 1 ---- with log4j at DEBUG the output: ---- [2014-03-31 11:47:20,956] INFO INFO Printed 1 (kafka.TestMisc$) [2014-03-31 11:47:20,958] DEBUG DEBUG Printed 2 (kafka.TestMisc$) Final Count 2 ---- > Fix excessive state change logging > ---------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1350 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1350 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.8.1 > Reporter: Joel Koshy > Assignee: Neha Narkhede > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.8.1.1 > > Attachments: KAFKA-1350.patch, KAFKA-1350_2014-03-29_23:28:07.patch > > > I can provide steps to reproduce this issue. The state change logger needs > to be guarded (to check if trace logging is turned on or not). > The delete topic patch significantly increased the amount of logging that we > do both on the controller. This results in higher latencies in state > transitions and can slow down the controller (as well as the broker). This > slow-down was how we ran into KAFKA-1342. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
