[jira] [Commented] (THRIFT-3952) Upgrade from v1.5.8 to current version for slf4j

["Benjamin Gould (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3952?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15605742#comment-15605742 ] 

Benjamin Gould commented on THRIFT-3952:
----------------------------------------

As an alternative to upgrading slf4j, can we evaluate if this dependency is needed at all?  It is not used in very many places, and for the most part the logging statements only appear to be used for WARN and ERROR level statements.  It seems like they could just as easily use the standard java.util.logging API instead so that the dependency could be removed.  Perhaps even better would be to provide something like an "ErrorReporter" interface that applications could implement in order to handle their own logging, if they don't prefer the default implementation.

> Are slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar and slf4j-log4j12-1.5.8.jar intended to support the older versions of Java? These are pretty old versions of slf4j.
> Can they be upgraded to the current version?
