This looks like avro is missing something it needs to encode or ship data.  The
log4j appender gets integrated into your application.  It requires the avro
jars (and possibly the flume.jars?) in order to work.  Did you include the
jars avro depends on in the classpath of your application?

I believe these are:

avro-xxx.jar
paranamer-xxx.jar
jackson-core-asl-xxx.jar
jackson-mapper-asl-xxx.jar
slf4j-xxx.jar

where xxx is the versions.

These should be in the flume's lib dir.
