Description

All of our example log4j settings write to ConsoleAppender on stdout. They should instead write to stderr so that logging information is kept separate from any program output.

in 1.4.x and 1.5.x one of the example configurations is used to run the functional tests (512MB/standalone), so this change will impact testing.

in 1.5 a packaging error (ACCUMULO-1868) results in a WARN log message. Because that WARN goes to stdout it causes a break in multiple tests that are attempting to read a JSON configuration object.
