> The TaskLogAppender log4j appender relies on using log4j.properties to pass 
> in some Java system properties into properties of the logger. 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.
