[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-1860) I'd like a log4j appender that can write to a Hadoop FileSystem

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1860?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13176994#comment-13176994 ] 

Harsh J commented on HADOOP-1860:
---------------------------------

I do not see what the merits of this would be. It would only slow things down. IMHO, logging is best left to non distributed FSes for being better that way.

> It would be convenient to be able to write log files to HDFS and other file systems directly. For large clusters, it will produce too many files, but for small clusters it should be usable.
