When start alluxio by using misconf, the function of the logging system is abnormal.

[MEILIDEKCL]

Alluxio Version: 2.9.0

Describe the bug When set alluxio.master.ttl.checker.interval to zero or negative, the log system of master will quickly reach the top. The number of master.log quickly reach 100, and all the info is same. To Reproduce Firstly, make sure the conf(alluxio-site.properties) is like this.

alluxio.master.hostname=localhost
alluxio.master.mount.table.root.ufs=/tmp
alluxio.master.ttl.checker.interval=-1

Secondly, use shell below.

hadoop@hadoop-Standard-PC-i440FX-PIIX-1996:~/alluxio-2.9.0$ ./bin/alluxio-mount.sh SudoMount

Expected behavior I find that the log system will continuously log the same info until the number reach 100. But it is still not good. In my view, I think the system should check this configuration before start-up for avoiding wasting resources.

Are you planning to fix it Yes, of course. I have fixed a version.
