[STORM-3198] Topology submitters should be able to supply log4j2 conf This adds a new config setting, `topology.logging.config`, that allows a topology submitter to specify an additional log4j2 config to be used via composite configuration. When the worker starts the `-Dlog4j.configurationFile` option is modified to include the additional file if requested. To test, I submitted a topology (FastWordCountTopology): ``` bin/storm jar -c topology.logging.config=classpath:resources/topology_log4j2.xml ../../../../../examples/storm-starter/target/storm-starter-*.jar org.apache.storm.starter.FastWordCountTopology fwc ``` topology_log4j2.xml: ``` <configuration monitorInterval="60" shutdownHook="disable"> <loggers> <root> <RegexFilter regex=".*Preparing.*" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="ACCEPT" /> </root> <Logger name="org.apache.storm.metric.LoggingMetricsConsumer"> <RegexFilter regex=".*Preparing.*" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="ACCEPT" /> </Logger> <Logger name="STDERR"> <RegexFilter regex=".*Preparing.*" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="ACCEPT" /> </Logger> <Logger name="STDOUT"> <RegexFilter regex=".*Preparing.*" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="ACCEPT" /> </Logger> </loggers> </configuration> ``` With this child configuration added, the messages about [preparing bolts](https://github.com/apache/storm/blob/26d2f955251c0fa56520f6fe08cb35ef5171f321/storm-client/src/jvm/org/apache/storm/executor/bolt/BoltExecutor.java#L109) no longer appear in the worker log. I also tested changing simply changing the log level in the child log4j2 config and that also works as expected.
