             Summary: Incorrect logging.properties file for hadoop-httpfs
                 Key: HADOOP-9721
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9721
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: build, conf
    Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha
         Environment: Maven 3.0.2 on CentOS6.2
            Reporter: Mark Grover


Tomcat ships with a default logging.properties file that's generic enough to be 
used however we already override it with a custom log file as seen at 
https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/trunk/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs-httpfs/pom.xml#L557

This is necessary because we can have the log locations controlled by 
${httpfs.log.dir} (instead of default ${catalina.base}/logs}, control the 
prefix of the log files names, etc.

In any case, this overriding doesn't always happen. In my environment, the 
custom logging.properties file doesn't get overridden. The reason is the 
destination logging.properties file already exists and the maven pom's copy 
command silently fails and doesn't override. If we explicitly delete the 
destination logging.properties file, then the copy command successfully 
completes. You may notice, we do the same thing with server.xml (which doesn't 
have this problem). We explicitly delete the destination file first and then 
copy it over. We should do the same with logging.properties as well.
