While running MR jobs such as teragen, terasort etc and dfs calls such as fetchdt i see the following printed to the console

log4j:ERROR Attempted to append to closed appender named [console].
log4j:ERROR Attempted to append to closed appender named [console].
log4j:ERROR Attempted to append to closed appender named [console].
log4j:ERROR Attempted to append to closed appender named [console].
log4j:ERROR Attempted to append to closed appender named [console].
log4j:ERROR Attempted to append to closed appender named [console].

We need to investigate why this is happening.

Eric could you look into this?

The recent addition in HADOOP-7681 contains:

log4j.category.SecurityLogger=${security.audit.logger}

This property should not exist in log4j.properties template.

Removed unnecessary security logger configuration for branch-20-security.
