[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-1470) logger.dir.walog description should say that the WAL is stored on the "HDFS filesystem"

["Aaron Glahe (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1470?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13669671#comment-13669671 ] 

Aaron Glahe commented on ACCUMULO-1470:
---------------------------------------

This is based on, from what I can tell, the WAL being written into the "/accumulo" on the DFS.  However, what is weird, is that even though I had the default (walogs), the DIR that was created was "wal."

In looking over the code, the LOGGER_DIR property does have the default set to "walogs", but when looking at org.apache.accumulo.core.Constants:

  /**
   * @param conf
   * @return The write-ahead log directory.
   */
  public static String getWalDirectory(final AccumuloConfiguration conf) {
    return getBaseDir(conf) + "/wal";
  }

which is where I BELIEVE (not sure) that being used instead of the LOGGER_DIR.
