Answer 1

A good choice would be Apache Flume. https://cwiki.apache.org/FLUME/

Flume is distributed log collection engine. It has built in support for log4j: http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh/3/flume/UserGuide/#_logging_via_log4j_directly

There is also a plugin for using cassandra as the log storage mechanism instead of hdfs: https://github.com/thobbs/flume-cassandra-plugin

I started an open source project with a custom log4j appender sending the message to a apache cassandra cluster. Project site is: https://github.com/rviper/cassandra-log4j
