This is an expected behavior. Most common Log4j 1.x components are
actually translated into their Log4j 2.x equivalents using
configuration builder plugins. See [1] for example. If you were using
"standard" Log4j 1.x components (e.g. org.apache.log4j.FileAppender),
this warning means that the system is using the real
org.apache.log4jFileAppender class instead of its Log4j 2.x
equivalent, which might result in poor performance.

You can actually also write such a builder plugin yourself, if you
wish to use a Log4j 1.x configuration to start your custom Log4j 2.x
appender.
