[SQOOP-2350] Sqoop2: log4j properties file should be configurable

• Type: Bug

Description

Currently, the MapReduce job that's kicked off will have the following configuration:

log4j.logger.org.apache.sqoop=INFO, A1

# A1 is set to be a ConsoleAppender.
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A1.Target   = System.err
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n

It's hard coded in the generated JAR file that we distribute. We should remove it from there and make it configurable elsewhere.

Work around is to set mapreduce.job.log4j-properties-file in sqoop2 mapred-site.xml. See MAPREDUCE-6052 for more info.
