Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-193: --------------------------------- Hmm, have you tried this out? Not sure if that works. You are doing def throwableString(e: => Throwable) = e.getStackTrace.toString But getStackTrace gives a java array primitive, so that doesn't print a stack trace: jkreps-mn:~ jkreps$ scala scala> val e = new RuntimeException("Hello") e: java.lang.RuntimeException = java.lang.RuntimeException: Hello scala> e.getStackTrace.toString res8: java.lang.String = [Ljava.lang.StackTraceElement;@4439bc82 What if instead we stick with log4j and do the following variants (for info/debug/trace/error/fatal): def info(m: =>String) = if(logger.isInfoEnabled) logger.info(m) def info(m: =>String, e: Throwable) = if(logger.isInfoEnabled) logger.info(m, e) def info(e: Throwable) = if(logger.isInfoEnabled) logger.info("", e) I think this does what we want with respect to exceptions. > use by name parameter helper for logging and trait to include lazy logging > and refactor code to use the new LogHelper > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-193 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-193 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.7 > Reporter: Joe Stein > Fix For: 0.8 > > Attachments: kafka-193-consistent-level-throwable.patch, > kafka-193.patch > > > 1) New tait to include logging and helper methods so if > (log.isDebugEnabled()) is not required because it is in the helper and log > paramaters are passed by name so not executed to tidy up the code > 2) refactor all occurrence of logging to use the log helper > 3/4 (possibly to be handled in to tickets) the "lint" affect from this for > changes patched but not on trunk and new patches moving forward until this is > baked in -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
