Cap space usage of default log4j rolling policy
-----------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-5655
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5655
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.92.1
Reporter: Himanshu Vashishtha
Assignee: Himanshu Vashishtha
Fix For: 0.96.0
The current default log4j policy is to use Daily Rolling File Appender (DRFA).
At times, its good to have a cap on the maximum size of the logs in order to
limit its disk usage. Here is a proposal to set a new file appemder (RFA) as
the default appender. It can be configured via env so that existing tools can
use the current behavior of using DRFA instead.
This is in parallel with jira Hadoop-8149.
