Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-13470:
----------------------------------------

bq. A simple fix is to use default {{PatternLayout}} only if the {{stdout}} and 
{{console}} appender are not defined.

That sounds perfect.  That would be backward-compatible for any existing tests 
that rely on a specific pattern in log4j.properties.  Thanks!  Please feel free 
to notify me for code review on the new patch, and I'll try 
{{TestFileSystemOperationsWithThreads}} with it.

> {{GenericTestUtils$LogCapturer}} is useful for assertions against service 
> logs. However it should be fixed in following aspects:
> # In the constructor, it uses the stdout appender's layout.
> {code}
> Layout layout = Logger.getRootLogger().getAppender("stdout").getLayout();
> {code}
> However, the stdout appender may be named "console" or alike which makes the 
> constructor throw NPE. Actually the layout does not matter and we can use a 
> default pattern layout that only captures application logs.
> # {{stopCapturing()}} method is not working. The major reason is that the 
> {{appender}} internal variable is never assigned and thus removing it to stop 
> capturing makes no sense.
> # It does not support {{org.slf4j.Logger}} which is preferred to log4j in 
> many modules.
> # There is no unit test for it.
> This jira is to address these.
