Given the recent proposal of Hadoop 1.0 and issues like HADOOP-4631,
HADOOP-4044, etc., being backward incompatible may be okay. It is more
important to have a good design. I guess this one may happens after 0.20.

> 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.
