Description

Log4j2 does not support loading of log4j properties (/xml/json/yaml) dynamically by applications. It no longer supports overriding the loading of properties using "log4j.defaultInitOverride" the way log4j1 does.

For KMS, instead of loading the properties file dynamically, we should add the log4j properties file as part of HADOOP_OPTS.
