Stefan Groschupf updated HADOOP-1860:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: hadoop-log4j.zip

I worked a little on that, though I never finished completely it, however it 
kind of works. Anyhow if someone ever stumble over  this issue I though it 
might be helpful to provide my code as starting point. The problem that is 
unsolved is the chicken egg problem, you need a running hdfs to write logs 
during startup. So you could use the appender and configure it to write into a 
log HDFS that already runs. 
However please be warned, writing logs into hdfs significant slows down hadoop!

> It would be convenient to be able to write log files to HDFS and other file 
> systems directly. For large clusters, it will produce too many files, but for 
> small clusters it should be usable.
