Description

I am using kafka 0.7.1 right now.
I am using the following log4j properties file and trying to send some log information to kafka server.

log4j.rootLogger=INFO,file,stdout

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d] %p %t %m (%c)%n

log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
#log4j.appender.file.FileNamePattern=c:\\development
producer-agent_%d

{yyyy-MM-dd}

.log
log4j.appender.file.File=${AC_DATA_HOME}\\lmservice
tailer-aggregator.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=100MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
#log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern= %-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d] %p %t %m (%c)%n

log4j.appender.KAFKA=kafka.producer.KafkaLog4jAppender
log4j.appender.KAFKA.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.KAFKA.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d] %p %t %m (%c)%n
log4j.appender.KAFKA.BrokerList=0:localhost:9092
log4j.appender.KAFKA.SerializerClass=kafka.serializer.StringEncoder
log4j.appender.KAFKA.Topic=test.topic

1. Turn on all our debugging info
   log4j.logger.kafka=INFO, KAFKA
   log4j.logger.org=INFO, KAFKA
   log4j.logger.com=INFO, KAFKA

However, I find that the messages send to kafka server are not formatted as my defined layout.
KafkaLog4jAppender just sends messages(%m), and there is no other conversion patterns.
