stack commented on HBASE-2608:
------------------------------
We log against apache commons. Isn't changing to use slf4j just a matter of a
config. change? (Or, rather it seems that apache commons logging will use
log4j if its found in the classapath).
> Switch to SLF4J
> ---------------
>
> Key: HBASE-2608
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2608
> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Benoit Sigoure
>
> There are 2 compelling reasons to switch from log4j to slf4j:
> * HBase provides a client library that is going to be embedded in another
> application. Using SLF4J lets the application chose whatever logging library
> it wants instead of imposing log4j.
> * When using SLF4J, we should use logback by default as it is basically a
> better, faster, stronger log4j. Same author, new design / new code. See
> http://logback.qos.ch/reasonsToSwitch.html
