Christian Kunz commented on HADOOP-1553: ---------------------------------------- Here some additional data: A certain application with extensive logging for debugging turned on took 5.5 hours, with logging turned off just 3 minutes. When logging was turned on, the throughput to userlogs was 6kBps, with about 90 log messages per sec. > Extensive logging of C++ application can slow down task by an order of > magnitude > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1553 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1553 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: pipes > Affects Versions: 0.13.0 > Reporter: Christian Kunz > > We observed that extensive logging (due to some configuration mistake) of a > c++ application using the pipes interface can slow down the task by an order > of magnitude. During that time disk usage was not high, with no abnormal > memory usage, and basically idle CPU. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
