  === Logging ===
  
+  * The environment variable, `HADOOP_LOG_DIR` sets the directory Hadoop logs 
to.
+  * the log4j.properties file in your hadoop configuration dir controls 
logging in more detail
   * Don't log to the root directory, as having a machine that does not boot 
because the logs are overflowing can be inconvenient.
   * Have a plan to clean up log output, otherwise jobs that log too much to 
the console will fill up log directories.
   * Get your developers to use the commons-logging APIs in their MapReduce 
code, so that you can turn logging up or down without recompiling the code. 
They can run in debug mode on their test machines, you can run at WARN level in 
production.
