Ratandeep Ratti created PIG-4430:
------------------------------------
Summary: Pig should support reading log4j.properties file from
classpath as well
Key: PIG-4430
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4430
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ratandeep Ratti
Currently, we can specify a log4j.properties file to Pig command line like so
{noformat}
pig -4 /path/to/log4j.properties
{noformat}
It will be quite helpful if it read the log4j.properties from the classpath as
well.
For instance in the same command we can specify...
{noformat}
pig -4 log4j.properties
{noformat}
And Pig can first try to read it as a file and failing that could try reading
it from the classpath, similar to how log4j handles the property -
log4j.configuration.
We needed this as one of your projects contained the log4j.properties file
embedded inside the project jar
I've attached a simple patch with a testcase to that effect.
