I took the FixedWindowRollingPolicy from the extras jar and changed the MAX_WINDOW_SIZE from 12 to 200. I also put in some code to see how long it took to rename the files. I used a SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy set at 400000 bytes, but the size of the files really shouldn't matter with the rename, right? At any rate, it took 3 milliseconds to rename 183 files. This is on Ubuntu.
The initial setting for MAX_WINDOW_SIZE was set at 12 because of concerns with the renaming operation taking too long. A time of 3 milliseconds doesn't seem very long to me. Am I missing something, or is my timing off? Does anyone remember (ballpark) the initial timings? Are there any other concerns with bumping up the MAX_WINDOW_SIZE? Doal Miller Sr. Software Engineer
