--------------------------------------

             Summary: setting log4j.logger.org.apache.cassandra=DEBUG causes keyspace username/password to show up in system.log
                 Key: CASSANDRA-9682
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9682
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
         Environment: running on linux
            Reporter: Victor Chen


if using a third party log aggregator (which many cloud users use), this causes db credentials to be reproduced offsite, which has potential to be security issue.

example system.log entry:
