 Description   

Upstream equivalent of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1570083 :

It looks like in the recent odlparent bump and Karaf upgrade we went to a very small karaf.log file size, which with our default of logging at INFO level is typically too small and leads to much rotation in real world usage.

Let's bump this from 16 MB to 10 GB:

log4j2.appender.rolling.policies.size.size = 16MB

Just a quick test just to make sure Log4j actually works :smiley: like this:

In etc/org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg replace the current 16MB default with 1KB:

log4j2.appender.rolling.policies.size.size = 1KB

and the odlparent/karaf/test-distribution creates log/karaf.log.1-7 - great.

So let's create a patch that does this.

FTR: There is some noteworthy discussion about the best default log file size in the comments of c/71300.

Unassigning issue from me, as I am not sure how to unblock the confusion that has meanwhile ensued on c/71300.

We are just going to apply what works for us downstream - it's easy enough.

I think 10GiB is rather aggressive, but we certainly can increase the size a bit.
