Description

There is a hidden problem that hdfs client tries to initialize SecurityAudit.audit log file which it shouldn't. The problem can be surfaced by configuring HADOOP_LOG_DIR to a directory that is not writable by the running user.

log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.

The log4j initialization should setup differently between HDFS server and HDFS client. This bug exists in branch-0.20-security branch.
