[jira] [Commented] (NUTCH-342) Nutch commands log to nutch/logs/hadoop.logs by default

["Lewis John McGibbney (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-342?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13080572#comment-13080572 ] 

Lewis John McGibbney commented on NUTCH-342:
--------------------------------------------

What is the current status with this issue... it seems to have been kicked well and truly into the long grass. My thinking is that there are two issues here.

1. Is there are requirement from the community to change the default location for Nutch logs from /runtime/logs/hadoop.log to something else?
2. What do we think about logging in general? Obviously this is a much larger issue, which I envisage probably affects many components within Nutch. Therefore if there is a requirement for change then there should be a parent issue opened and this issue should be integrated as part of that goal.

> If (by default) Nutch commands are going to send their output to a file named "hadoop.log", then it seems like the default location for this file should be the same location where Hadoop is putting its hadoop.log file (i.e., $HADOOP_LOG_DIR). Currently, if I set HADOOP_LOG_DIR to a special location (via hadoop-env.sh), this has no effect on where Nutch commands send their output.
> Some would probably suggest that I could just set NUTCH_LOG_DIR to $HADOOP_LOG_DIR myself. I still think that it should be defaulted this way in the nutch script. However, I'm unaware of an elegant way to modify such Nutch environment variables anyway. The hadoop-env.sh file provides a convenient place to modify Hadoop environment variables, but doing the same for Nutch environment variables presumably requires you to modify .bash_profile or a similar user script file (which is the way I used to accomplish this kind of thing with Nutch 0.7).
