------------------------------------------------------------

OK, the first problem is in hbase-client, TestFailedServersLog, where we assume 
that the log output is log4j. This is easy to fix, just switch to log4j2. And 
it is in test code so I think it is fine. Although testing directly on slf4j 
will be better.

Another problem is much difficult to fix, as in hbase-http, we have a 
HttpRequestLog implementation, where we pass log4j loggers everywhere, and the 
code for log4j2 is incompatible with log4j, so there is no straight forward way 
to fix it. And I doubt whether it is a good idea to introduce log4j 
dependencies directly from a library which maybe used by downstream users, as 
it forces the down stream users to also use log4j... Need learn more about this.
