Improve logging
---------------

                 Key: HADOOP-1078
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1078
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Philippe Gassmann


Loggers in hadoop are created using LogFactory.getLog("some package styled 
things"); 

This is very confusing since the string specified in getLog() sometime is the 
class name sometime not. (eg : the class org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Task contains 
a logger created by LogFactory.getLog("org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskRunner"); 
which is very confusing)

I think that logger should be always created using  
LogFactory.getLog(MyClass.class); and that if a class needs a logger, then a 
specific logger must be crated for that class (ie: loggers are private).
