I figured this is a rarely modified piece of code but most frequently used 
across all components. Hoping that someone who might have worked on logging can 
share some insight from their experience in general, if not within Drill.

I was wondering if changes to Drill's logback.xml can be picked up dynamically.

i.e. without restarting the Drillbit, change the logging level of specific 
classes within the Drillbit.

I ask this because sometimes, a Drillbit needs to go through a warmup phase 
where the JVM optimizes the functions frequently in use. Changing the logging 
from something like an INFO to a DEBUG level would then allow me to correctly 
capture specific log messages without having to lose all those optimizations 
due to a restart (for the DEBUG to take effect).

Is it something worth having ?
