Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-4757:
----------------------------------------
To back up Michal, a build of trunk from last week has a log4j.properties file
in both hadoop-core and hadoop-hdfs JARs, which can only cause confusion in a
standalone Hadoop installation, let alone for anyone trying to embed the JARS
into anything else.
> Replace log4j.properties with log4j.xml

> Certain log4j features are not configurable via the log4j.properties file,
> not to mention the log4j.properties file is messy. For this reason, we
> should transition to a XML file to configure log4j. The .properties vs. .xml
> argument has only come up in HADOOP-211, where the XML configuration was
> vetoed for Tomcat integration issues.
