---------------------------------------
Well, I felt bad that you spent time combining the properties just as I started
to understand why it can be important to leave them separated. ;-) Apologies
for not seeing it sooner.
> Provide optional RollingFileAppender for container log4j (syslog)

> This JIRA is an alternative take on YARN-1130
> We propose providing an option of using a RollingFileAppender(RFA)-based
> implementation of container log appender as means of log size control via
> mapreduce.task.userlog.limit.kb.
> The idea is to use mapreduce.task.userlog.limit.kb as maximumFileSize of RFA.
> In addition yarn.app.mapreduce.container.log.backups (task attempt
> containers) and yarn.app.mapreduce.am.log.backups (MR-AM) are passed as
> maxBackupIndex.
> Both current ContainerLogAppender (CLA) and new ContainerRollingLogAppender
> (CRLA) co-exist. CLA is the default. CRLA is chosen when
> mapreduce.task.userlog.limit.kb > 0 && *.backups > 0.
> Pros:
> 1) CRLA output is visible in UI right away. CLA output with
> mapreduce.task.userlog.limit.kb > 0 is not visible until the task attempt
> finishes that prevents timely diagnostics.
> 2) Even with excessive logging and a large mapreduce.task.userlog.limit.kb,
> no space is taken from the JVM heap.
> 3) No UI impact, since YARN is already designed to deal with any log name
> beyond stderr/out, syslog, debug.out, profile.out
> Cons:
> 1) if the logging is excessive there will be more local filesystem metadata
> I/O due to roll. That should be negligible in the grand scheme.
> Furthermore, to improve log consistency and completeness in the case of JVM
> crashes and SIGTERMing by NM, we propose to restore the MRv1 behavior of
> periodic log syncing (every 5s) and having log sync as part of a shutdown
> hook.
