Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli commented on MAPREDUCE-5148: ---------------------------------------------------- We should definitely mark MAPREDUCE-4970 as an incompatible change. Also, I think, we can maintain the compatability with little effort - tasks should read both log4j.properties and task-log4j.properties. That should do, right? > Syslog missing from Map/Reduce tasks > ------------------------------------ > > Key: MAPREDUCE-5148 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5148 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: tasktracker > Affects Versions: 1.2.0 > Reporter: yeshavora > Attachments: Screenshot_MAPREDUCE-5148.png > > > MAPREDUCE-4970 introduced incompatible change and causes syslog to be missing > from tasktracker on old clusters which just have log4j.properties configured -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
