since it makes a remark "SLF4J suffers from none of the class loader
problems or memory leaks observed with Jakarta Commons Logging
(JCL).". Is
it true that the version of commons-logging we use in hadoop could
have
issues to do with memory leaks? If so, we should consider moving to
SLF4J
unless there are other issues. There is a well-defined migration
path -

There have been a few releases since then addressing most of the
problems listed. If you are really concerned I suggest to make sure
you use the latest version and check on the commons dev list if you
have questions.
