Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-8232:
------------------------------------

The logf4j config already does log to a rotated file ... but it also logs to 
the console.  The console log file, which grows unbounded, is created by 
redirecting stdout and stderr in the start script.  Gettting rotation on that 
log file would mean redirecting through a script or program, rather than simply 
redirecting to a file.  We could do that, but I don't think that's a good use 
of committer time.

If we change the CONSOLE logging to WARN or higher, there will be almost 
nothing logged in the console log unless there's a problem.  It would also 
eliminate what I suspect is a lot of user confusion when they run the zkcli 
script and see a ton of INFO logs from zookeeper.

>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: scripts and tools
>    Affects Versions: 5.3
>            Reporter: Upayavira
>            Priority: Minor
>
> The bin/solr script, when started with bin/solr start, uses this command to 
> start Solr:
> {code} nohup "$JAVA" "${SOLR_START_OPTS[@]}" $SOLR_ADDL_ARGS -jar start.jar \
>         "-XX:OnOutOfMemoryError=$SOLR_TIP/bin/oom_solr.sh $SOLR_PORT 
> $SOLR_LOGS_DIR" "${SOLR_JETTY_CONFIG[@]}" \
>         1>"$SOLR_LOGS_DIR/solr-$SOLR_PORT-console.log" 2>&1 & echo $! > 
> "$SOLR_PID_DIR/solr-$SOLR_PORT.pid"
> {code}
> This sends console output to stdout, with no means of rotating the log file, 
> meaning it will eventually fill the drive unless restarted.
> I would propose that stdout be written to dev/null and we use proper means 
> for handling logging, which can do proper log rotation as configured by the 
> user.
