Customizing Storm file locations at the worker/topology level

[Mitchell Rathbun (BLOOMBERG/ 731 LEX)]

In the default worker.xml implementation, file names for Storm logs are set by 
${sys:workers.artifacts}/${sys:storm.id}/${sys:worker.port}/${sys:logfile.name}.
 Storm.id is what is used to distinguish between workers. Instead of using 
storm.id, we would like to use our own per topology id to determine the 
directory that the logs are written to. How would I go about setting this at 
the worker level? My initial thought was to use log4j2's provided system 
lookup, but I don't believe Storm provides a way to set unique system variables 
per worker. The config property worker.childopts can be used to set system 
variables, but this is defined once per cluster in the storm.yaml file, I don't 
think there is a way to pass in a unique id for every worker that is started. 
Any sort of programmatic log4j2 property substitution would not work because 
the earliest place to set this for a worker would be in a WorkerHook, and Storm 
logs before the WorkerHook is called. So have any others came up with a 
solution to a similar issue (custom log file location set by user per 
topology)? Is there a way to set unique system variables per worker/topology 
provided by Storm?
