   what else comes in as a dependency

Review Comment:
   declare this in hadoop-project pom with version and exclusions, then declare 
in this file without those. this is to ensure consistent importing across 
different modules

> In the current Hadoop 3.4 version, the system relies on Log4j 1.x for logging 
> purposes. This dependency limits the logging functionality, especially when 
> it comes to rolling log files such as 'hdfs-audit.log'. Rolling log files is 
> crucial for managing log size and ensuring logs are rotated out over time to 
> prevent excessive disk space usage. However, the Log4j 1.x version integrated 
> within Hadoop lacks the necessary capabilities to efficiently handle log 
> rolling.
> This library extends logging capabilities, including more flexible and 
> configurable log rolling features. By deploying this library, we can enable 
> advanced rolling strategies such as time-based rolling, size-based rolling, 
> and compression of rolled logs, which are not supported by the default Log4j 
> 1.x setup in Hadoop.
> The integration of Apache Log4j Extras into Hadoop will significantly improve 
> log management by allowing for more sophisticated and configurable log 
> rotation policies. This enhancement is particularly important for maintaining 
> system performance and reliability, as well as for compliance with log 
> retention policies.
> Although there are plans to upgrade to Log4j 2 in the forthcoming Hadoop 3.5 
> version, which will inherently solve these issues by providing enhanced 
> logging features, there is an immediate need to enable advanced log rolling 
> capabilities in the current and previous versions of Hadoop.
