Log Context

Log “refreshed keys” classname is TokenService.java.
We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

                try {
                    refreshMetadata(custom);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    logger.warn("refreshing metadata failed"; e);
                }
                logger.info("refreshed keys");
            }
        });
    }

    // to prevent too many cluster state update tasks to be queued for doing the same update
