---------------------------------------
Current patch is based on baidu's branch, I'm testing for it.
> Use RollingFileAppender to limit tasklogs
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAPREDUCE-1648
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1648
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tasktracker
> Reporter: Guilin Sun
> Priority: Minor
>
> There are at least two types of task-logs: syslog and stdlog
> Task-Jvm outputs syslog by log4j with TaskLogAppender, TaskLogAppender looks just like
"tail -c", it stores last N byte/line logs in memory(via queue), and do real output only if
all logs is commit and Appender is going to close.
> The common problem of TaskLogAppender and 'tail -c' is keep everything in memory and
user can't see any log output while task is in progress.
> So I'm going to try RollingFileAppender instead of TaskLogAppender, use MaxFileSize&MaxBackupIndex
to limit log file size.
> RollingFileAppender is also suitable for stdout/stderr, just redirect stdout/stderr to
log4j via LoggingOutputStream, no client code have to be changed, and RollingFileAppender
seems better than 'tail -c' too.
