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

We're using Apache commons log, except for preflight tests. Where did you find log4j?

> Hello,
> I would be nice to use slf4j instead of relying explicitly on log4j. ([slf4j.org|http://slf4j.org])
> There are adapters from slf4j to many logger implementations, one of them is log4j.
> The decision of which log engine does not belong in a library, it belongs to the user of that library.
> This was apparently done already by several Apache projects. Searching for slf4j in Jira shows Zookeeper, HBase, HDFS, Parquet, Cloudstack, Nemo, EmpireDB, Oozie, Hadoop, and many others.
>  
> I can offer a patch, I have done such migration before.
> Thank you very much,
> Mihai
