Hi everyone,
I am using Hadoop, that uses log4j as logging system.
Since I don't know anything about how log4j works, and since I am relying on the logs for my work, I would like to ask you how reliable is the timestamp I see in the logs. Is each timestamp I see the exact real system time at which each "LOG.info(...)" function is called within the Hadoop code? Or is the log request enqueued in some buffer so that the timestamp includes some delay to process the entries in this buffer? I asked this in the Hadoop mailing list but with no answer, hope to have more luck here.

Thanks in advance

Fabio
