             Summary: Strange behavior when configuring Logback for logging
                 Key: FLINK-7990

I have a single node Flink instance which has the required jars for logback in the lib folder (logback-classic.jar, logback-core.jar, log4j-over-slf4j.jar). I have removed the jars for log4j from the lib folder (log4j-1.2.17.jar, slf4j-log4j12-1.7.7.jar). 'logback.xml' is also correctly updated in 'conf' folder. I have also included 'logback.xml' in the classpath, although this does not seem to be considered while the job is run. Flink refers to logback.xml inside the conf folder only. I have updated pom.xml as per Flink's documentation in order to exclude log4j. I have some log entries set inside a few map and flatmap functions and some log entries outside those functions (eg: "program execution started").

When I run the job, Flink writes only those logs that are coded outside the transformations. Those logs that are coded inside the transformations (map, flatmap etc) are not getting written to the log file. If this was happening always, I could have assumed that the Task Manager is not writing the logs. But Flink displays a strange behavior regarding this. Whenever I update the logback jars inside the the lib folder(due to version changes), during the next job run, all logs (even those inside map and flatmap) are written correctly into the log file. But the logs don't get written in any of the runs after that. This means that my 'logback.xml' file is correct and the settings are also correct. But I don't understand why the same settings don't work while the same job is run again.
