Scalability: Seeking advice on logger names

[Lutz Michael <mi...@siemens.com>]

For systems consisting of thousands and possibly even tens of thousands of
classes,
are there scalability advantages to naming loggers by their package name
only,
as opposed to scoping completely down to the class name?  (Specifically
referring to
the "Logger.getLogger("a.b.class");" call.)

I'm thinking there may be reasons (for scalability) not to include the
actual class
name in the logger names, and just stop at the lowest level package name.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
 
Mike
