Hudson commented on MAPREDUCE-2372: ----------------------------------- Integrated in Hadoop-Mapreduce-trunk #685 (See [https://builds.apache.org/hudson/job/Hadoop-Mapreduce-trunk/685/]) MAPREDUCE-2372. TaskLogAppender mechanism shouldn't be set up in log4j.properties.

This is > problematic since we've often found that users have customized > log4j.properties and don't upgrade it when they upgrade the version of Hadoop. > Since this is really an internal mechanism of how the task runner passes task > info to the TLA, we shouldn't rely on these settings in log4j.properties at > all. Rather, we should just get the system properties directly from > System.getProperty. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
