I think it would be good to remove the log4j.properties file from the
hadoop.jar. Since it's in the jar now it is picked up by
log4j/commons-logging.
I think it would be better to just add it to the classpath in the scripts.
In my application we are using Hadoop and parts of Nutch, but have our own
log4j.xml file that gets loaded during application startup after we locate
the path from some other configuration files.
Since log4j finds the hadoop log4j.properties file first we get some annoying
errors in our catalina.out such as:
log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.
