------------------------------------
Summary: Explicit reference to Log4JLogger breaks non-log4j users
Key: HADOOP-10288
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10288
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Components: util
Affects Versions: 2.4.0
Reporter: Todd Lipcon
Assignee: Todd Lipcon
In HttpRequestLog, we make an explicit reference to the Log4JLogger class for
an instanceof check. If the log4j implementation isn't actually on the
classpath, the instanceof check throws NoClassDefFoundError instead of
returning false. This means that dependent projects that don't use log4j can no
longer embed HttpServer -- typically this is an issue when they use
MiniDFSCluster as part of their testing.
