> Flume has built in functionality to log out data flowing through
> mainly for debugging purposes. This functionality appears in several
> places of the codebase. I think such functionality rise security
> concerns in production environments where sensitive information might
> be ingested so it is crucial that enabling such functionality has to
> be as explicit as possible (avoid implicit side effect setup).
> Eg: setting the level of root logger to debug/trace cause that every
> other logger will start logging at debug/trace including the ones
> logging raw data.
> In this jira I would like to provide a patch capturing how I imagined solving this issue. It can be refined iteratively or used as a basis for a broader discussion.
