> In the current Hadoop 3.4 version, the system relies on Log4j 1.x for logging
> purposes. This dependency limits the logging functionality, especially when
> it comes to rolling log files such as 'hdfs-audit.log'. Rolling log files is
> crucial for managing log size and ensuring logs are rotated out over time to
> prevent excessive disk space usage. However, the Log4j 1.x version integrated
> within Hadoop lacks the necessary capabilities to efficiently handle log
> rolling.
> This library extends logging capabilities, including more flexible and
> configurable log rolling features. By deploying this library, we can enable
> advanced rolling strategies such as time-based rolling, size-based rolling,
> and compression of rolled logs, which are not supported by the default Log4j
> 1.x setup in Hadoop.
> The integration of Apache Log4j Extras into Hadoop will significantly improve
> log management by allowing for more sophisticated and configurable log
> rotation policies. This enhancement is particularly important for maintaining
> system performance and reliability, as well as for compliance with log
> retention policies.
> Although there are plans to upgrade to Log4j 2 in the forthcoming Hadoop 3.5
> version, which will inherently solve these issues by providing enhanced
> logging features, there is an immediate need to enable advanced log rolling
> capabilities in the current and previous versions of Hadoop.
