-------------------------------------
Summary: Stop stringifying exception for logging
Key: FLINK-30179
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-30179
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Runtime / Task
Affects Versions: 1.16.0
Reporter: Mingliang Liu
In {{org.apache.flink.runtime.taskmanager.Task}} there are multiple places
where we stringify an exception before logging. According to Slf4j logging, we
can just leave the last argument as exception (or throwable) without fitting
them into log message string with placeholders.
So essentially:
{code}
LOG.debug(
"{} ({}) switched from {} to {} due to CancelTaskException: {}",
taskNameWithSubtask,
executionId,
currentState,
newState,
ExceptionUtils.stringifyException(cause));
{code}
should be
{code}
LOG.debug(
"{} ({}) switched from {} to {} due to CancelTaskException:",
taskNameWithSubtask,
executionId,
currentState,
newState,
cause);
{code}
Interestingly there was a [hot
fix|https://github.com/apache/flink/commit/7eac5c62a10158ef210906deb161ac791f18d3ae]
that deliberately changed the code from the latter to the former. This JIRA
can track the discussion why that was needed.
