ASF subversion and git services commented on GEODE-8929: -------------------------------------------------------- Commit ecf06115eb1bedd90d0ede9a5cc9cafff6111606 in geode-native's branch refs/heads/develop from Blake Bender [ https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=geode-native.git;h=ecf0611 ] GEODE-8929: fix 'leaked disk space' issue in logger (#743) - Logger wasn't calculating the size of existing files when initializing. Thus the disk usage could grow by up to the space limit set by the app at each iteration (run). - Added new test to start/stop logger several times and verify we're never exceeding disk space limits in toto. - passing nullptr for file name to Log::Init() wasn't writing to a default file, now it writes to 'geode-native.log' in CWD. - logging test for (#) in filename wasn't cleaning up its log file - added test code to clean up any default-named log files - Run all unit tests with "test" filename, and with default filename (geode-native.log) - Add specific case to check for "leaked" disk space when specifying nullptr to get the default file name. > Existing log files not counted in disk space calculations > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GEODE-8929 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-8929 > Project: Geode > Issue Type: Bug > Components: native client > Reporter: Blake Bender > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > > When the native logger starts up, it looks for existing "rolled" log files, > i.e. files which were written by a previous instance of the client. If it > finds any, they are added to an internal map, and when the current log file > would exceed the file size limit, the oldest existing rolled log file is > deleted, and a new one written. The size of the existing files, however, is > not calculated and subtracted from available size at startup, so each > concurrent instance of the client can _add_ up to whatever is specified for > `log-disk-space-limit`. So, for instance, if you set a disk space limit of > 5MB, run your app, generate 5MB of logs, and quit, you have 5MB of logs. If > you run your app again, generate 5MB of logs, and quit, you now have 10MB of > logs, etc., effectively "leaking" disk space. > > The workaround for now is to always delete existing log files at app startup, > but we should really either delete these when initializing the logger, or > calculate the existing used disk space at startup. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
