package filter is not working with logredactor

[nileshnikalje]

We are able to use logredactor for masking password successfully. We want to restrict the log redactor to apply to the code in a package and not apply to the whole project.

We are trying to apply the redactor to the class within the package org.cloudera with the following configuration

_# CONS Appender (for the console)
log4j.appender.CONS=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG,CONS, rootRedactor
log4j.logger.org.cloudera=RFA, clouderaRedactor

We have two packages org.cloudera and org.example both having debug message.
We are seeing that the debug messages from both the packages is getting redacted, not just the one we specified (in the last line of the config above).

Could you please help us with this?
