[jira] Created: (HBASE-2608) Switch to SLF4J

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
