             Summary: LoggerContext logs with FATAL priority when unable to 
register a shutdown hook seems excessive
                 Key: LOG4J2-1160
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1160
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.4.1
            Reporter: Oleg Kalnichevski


LoggerContext logs a message at FATAL priority when unable to register a 
shutdown hook sounds a bit excessive to me. 

Consider the following scenario: an app is being shut down, it is going through 
its resource de-allocation and cleanup routines. It loads a new class which has 
not been used up to this point. The class happens to have a static logger. The 
logger gets initialized. LoggerContext attempts to register a shutdown hook and 
fails because the JVM is already being shut down. 
DefaultShutdownCallbackRegistry throws an ISE which gets logged at FATAL 
priority. People get a heart attack. Widows and orphans cry.

I think it is legal for #addShutdownCallback to fail at this point. Logging at  
FATAL priority here sounds unwarranted. 

Could you please consider toning this down a little? Warning maybe?
