Mingliang Liu created FLINK-30179: ------------------------------------- Summary: Stop stringifying exception for logging Key: FLINK-30179 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-30179 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Runtime / Task Affects Versions: 1.16.0 Reporter: Mingliang Liu
In {{org.apache.flink.runtime.taskmanager.Task}} there are multiple places where we stringify an exception before logging. According to Slf4j logging, we can just leave the last argument as exception (or throwable) without fitting them into log message string with placeholders. So essentially: {code} LOG.debug( "{} ({}) switched from {} to {} due to CancelTaskException: {}", taskNameWithSubtask, executionId, currentState, newState, ExceptionUtils.stringifyException(cause)); {code} should be {code} LOG.debug( "{} ({}) switched from {} to {} due to CancelTaskException:", taskNameWithSubtask, executionId, currentState, newState, cause); {code} Interestingly there was a [hot fix|https://github.com/apache/flink/commit/7eac5c62a10158ef210906deb161ac791f18d3ae] that deliberately changed the code from the latter to the former. This JIRA can track the discussion why that was needed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
