Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-2349:
---------------------------------------------
[~vickyuec]: Agreed that these changes are major and should not be done in
older versions. This ticket is marked for 1.7, though. If this ticket is about
making loud complaints about a missing file in 1.7, then I think these
alternatives which have been suggested are a preferable way to go.
Further, if we agree that these alternatives (specifically, dropping the
*_logger.xml files) are something we're going to do in a future version, then
we need to keep that in mind in "fixing" previous releases. We don't want to
create churn by tolerating missing files in one version, complaining very
loudly about those missing files in the next bugfix version, and then not using
those files at all in the next version.
With that in mind, the correct solution for the current problem in previous
releases seems to me to be that we should not complain loudly. Rather, we
should find ways to be more tolerant of those missing files, without
complaining to users and demanding they take action. Hence [my suggestion to
change the behavior to fall back on the log4j.properties file in those older
versions|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2349?focusedCommentId=13899776&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13899776].

> Right now if you're missing general_logger and the appropriate
> service_logger, it seems accumulo just happily carries on with no logs
> whatsoever. We should alter it to complain loudly if it's missing them.
