Description

the hadoop-core JAR in the distribution and in the Maven repositories has a log4j JAR. This can break the logging of any client programs which import that JAR to do things like DFSClient work. It should be stripped from future releases. This should not impact server-side deployments, as the properties file in conf/ should be picked up instead.
