Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HTRACE-375:
---------------------------------------------
I thought this created the file if it didn't exist. I have to look into this
> LocalFileSpanReceiver should create file if local.file.span.receiver.path
> points to directory

> Key: HTRACE-375
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTRACE-375
> Project: HTrace
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 4.1
> Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney
> Assignee: Lewis John McGibbney
>
> Right now the property local.file.span.receiver.path actually requires a file
> on disk to be present in order for spans to be written there once the span
> buffer is full.
> Either
> * the property should be changed to local.file.span.receiver.file.path
> indicating that an actual FILE at a patch is required, or
> * alternatively (probably my preferred option) if a path is given e.g.
> /data/htrace/spans, then the file htrace.log is created and spans are written
> there. Just like log4j does with the daily rolling file appender, after
> 24hrs, the file will be moved to a timestamped file and a new htrace.log will
> be created and written to.
> What do you all think?
