viewing log messages from mapper and reducer.

[jamal sasha <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi..
   I am trying to run the following example:
http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r0.17.0/mapred_tutorial.html#Example%3A+WordCount+v1.0
Except in the mapper and reduce class I am logging via
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

In the WordCount class I add the follwoing line
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(WordCount.class);

and then in the map and reduce methods
I add LOG.info("mapper");
LOG.info("reducer");

But those are not outputed in the console (I am running on pseudo
distributed mode)
In the userlogs directory there are four folders
log.index  stderr  stdout  syslog

In syslog, I have
2013-01-16 10:09:14,230 INFO org.apache.hadoop.util.NativeCodeLoader:

Rest of the files are empty.. (except log.index)
Where is the logs being saved?
Thanks
