Hi Community, Ask: Thoughts on including `log4j-layout-template-json` directly into the flink-dist? Source: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/json-template-layout.html
As of now, the JSONLayout is deprecated <https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html#JSONLayout>. And the pattern layout is not meant for production with structured logging <https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html#pattern-layout>. We provide the other log4j jars <https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-dist/src/main/assemblies/bin.xml#L40-L45> . Adding the additional dependency means we don't need to maintain versions across different distributions. Also, at 230KB, it is a tiny dependency that makes it very easy for users to start using a production grade logging system. Thoughts? If there aren't any objections we can open a ticket / PR.
