Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli commented on MAPREDUCE-6052:
----------------------------------------------------

With your proposal, user has to set (1) log4j.configuration to the log-file 
name (a very weird configuration) and then (2) explicitly add the log-file to 
distributed cache.

I am proposing that we simply have (0) _mapreduce.job.log4j-configuration-file_ 
set to file:///home/vinodkv/container-log4j.properties#my-short-name which is 
then recognized by JobClient, automatically uploaded to HDFS similar to job.jar 
if it is a local file, and also added to distributed cache.

> Support overriding log4j.properties per job

> For current MR application, the "log4j.configuration" is hard coded to 
> container-log4j.properties within each node. We still need flexibility to 
> override it per job like what we do in MRV1.

>   public static void addLog4jSystemProperties(
>       String logLevel, long logSize, int numBackups, List<String> vargs) {
>     vargs.add("-Dlog4j.configuration=container-log4j.properties");
> {code}
