> When started as a regular java application, ie. java -jar, avro-tools
> displays an annoying log4j warning:
> {noformat}
> $ java -jar target/avro-tools-1.9.0-SNAPSHOT.jar tojson
> ./target/mapred/in/lines.avro/
> log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger
> (org.apache.hadoop.metrics2.lib.MutableMetricsFactory).
> log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
> log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more
> info.
> {noformat}
> log4j should be properly initialized in the two supported execution contexts:
> regular jar & hadoop jar.
> When run as a regular jar, log4j looks for a {{log4j.properties}} or
> {{log4j.xml}} in the classpath and displays the aforementioned warning
> message if none is found. IMHO, we should provide a default configuration
> file. User will still be able to override the log4j configuration using
> {{-Dlog4j.configuration}}.
> When run with {{hadoop jar}}, {{hadoop-config.sh}} puts {{HADOOP_CONF_DIR}}
> first in the classpath. Since {{HADOOP_CONF_DIR}} contains a
> {{log4j.properties}}, the one provided by avro-tools won't be used, which
> seems fine. Here again, users can use {{-Dlog4j.configuration}} if they need.
> What do you think of adding a simple log4j.properties file into
> src/main/resources ? What would be a good default log4j configuration ?
