I was watching this recently, it's very interesting:

slf4j has some very nice properties, not the least that it solves some
problems like simplifying integration of apps that use different logging
systems.
I had noticed that Avro uses slf4j, and that Hadoop in general has it as
part of the ivy config (although the code is still log4j based). Is the
intent to move all of Hadoop to slf4j over time?

SLF4J is there because jetty uses it. If it had stayed with
commons-logging it would be that much easier to run different logging
back ends, as it is I have to have two different bridge libraries to
integrate hadoop logging with where the data goes in my clusters.
