Description

Background:

ACCUMULO-2383 added properties file versions of generic_logger and monitor_logger to the example configuration template. ACCUMULO-2646 made the examples consistent by generating the examples from the template in the build.

Problem:

Having both versions of the file in the example configurations is confusing, because it will result in users possibly editing the properties file without realizing that it will be ignored when the xml version is present. Some comment or description should be added to these files to ensure any user editing them will not be surprised when their changes are ignored because the other file is present.
