METRON-1295 Unable to Configure Logging for REST API
When configuring the logging for the REST API, the following exception
occurs.
```
log4j:ERROR A "org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender" object is not
assignable to a "org.apache.hadoop.hbase.shaded.org.apache.log4j.Appender"
variable.
```
This change prevents the shaded log4j dependencies of metron-hbase from
bleeding into metron-rest.
## Testing
1. Spin-up Full Dev
2. Create a log4j configuration file. In this example
`/usr/metron/0.4.2/config/log4j.properties`
3. Add the following to "Metron JVM Flags" in Ambari > Metron > Config.
```
-Dlog4j.debug
-Dlog4j.configuration=file:/usr/metron/0.4.2/config/log4j.properties
```
4. Restart Metron REST and watch the logging output. Ensure that you can
configure logging as you would expect.
