------------------------------------

             Summary: Pig should support reading log4j.properties file from 
classpath as well
                 Key: PIG-4430
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4430
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ratandeep Ratti


Currently, we can specify a log4j.properties file to Pig command line like so
{noformat}
pig -4 /path/to/log4j.properties
{noformat}

It will be quite helpful if it read the log4j.properties from the classpath as 
well.
For instance in the same command we can specify...
{noformat}
pig -4 log4j.properties
{noformat}
And Pig can first try to read it as a file and failing that could try reading 
it from the classpath, similar to how log4j handles the property - 
log4j.configuration.

We needed this as one of your projects contained  the log4j.properties file  
embedded inside the project jar

I've attached a simple patch with a testcase to that effect.
