warnings from log4j -- where to look to resolve?

Calvin 2013-01-28, 10:36

Hi,

Each time I run a job, I get thousands of these warnings. I've looked at
conf/log4j.properties and nothing out of the ordinary (a diff with the
default log4j.properties shows no lines of consequence changed).

Has anyone else come across this problem? Where else would I look to find
potentially conflicting settings for log4j?

Thanks.

Try passing -Dlog4j.debug via mapred.child.java.opts. That will clearly show you the problem as part of logs itself.

Are these errors appearing in stdout/stderr or syslog?

Hi,

Does your code instantiate and work with a self logger object? If so,
is it a log4j instance or a commons logging one?

Hi Harsh,

No self logger object is being used.
