["Andrew Kyle Purtell (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26802?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andrew Kyle Purtell resolved HBASE-26802.
-----------------------------------------
    Hadoop Flags: Reviewed
    Release Note: 
Use log4j2 instead of log4j for logging.
Exclude log4j dependency from hbase and transitive dependencies, use log4j-1.2-api as test dependency for bridging as hadoop still need log4j for some reasons. Copy FileAppender implementation in hbase-logging as the ContainerLogAppender for YARN NodeManager extends it. All log4j.properties files have been replaced by log4j2.xml.
For log4j2, there is no 'log4j.rootLogger' config, so we need to config level and appender separately, the system properties are now 'hbase.root.logger.level' and 'hbase.root.logger.appender', for security loggers they are 'hbase.security.logger.level' and 'hbase.security.logger.appender'. But for setting them from command line, you could still use something like 'HBASE_ROOT_LOGGER=INFO,console' as we will split it and set level and appender separately. 
      Resolution: Fixed

> One thing is that, we'd better make sure that users can still use the old log4j.properties for logging.
