---------------------------
> PropertiesFileConfigurationProvider doesn't properly log exceptions

> Key: FLUME-818
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-818
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: NG alpha 1
> Reporter: E. Sammer
> Assignee: E. Sammer
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: NG alpha 2

>
> In the exception handling logic of PropertiesFileConfigurationProvider, we
> accidentally get the incorrect overridden method in slf4j. This is a silly
> interface issue in slf4j. For reference, here's the cause.
> SLF4J allows parameterized log messages such as logger.error("Bad value: {}",
> value). It also has overridden methods that know how to print exceptions like
> logger.error("Caught the exception", ex). Note that the latter is not a
> parameter, but a separate argument. There's a method signature of all logging
> methods that looks like error(String, Object, Object) for a parameterized
> format string with two parameters. Unfortunately, this matches
> error("Received value {} but caught an exception", value, ex) and does *NOT*
> do what is intended. Boo hiss. I'm guilty of making this mistake endlessly.
