Re: A log4jconfig.xml file

[Vinod KV <vi...@yahoo-inc.com>]

The earlier question is easier to answer given you are loading the file 
yourselves :)

You have multiple solutions:
  (1) Put it in the lib folder inside the job.jar. It should be 
automatically available from the task's classpath.
  (2) Set it in distributed cache as a classpath file. See 
DistributedCache.addCacheFile(URI uri, Configuration conf).
