> spark-core has a hard dependency on log4j, which shouldn't be necessary since slf4j is used. I tried to exclude slf4j-log4j12 and log4j dependencies in my sbt file.
> Excluding org.slf4j.slf4j-log4j12 works fine if logback is on the classpath. However, removing the log4j dependency fails because in https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/v1.1.0/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/Logging.scala#L121 a static method of org.apache.log4j.LogManager is accessed *even if* log4j is not in use.
> I guess removing all dependencies on log4j may be a bigger task, but it would be a great help if the access to LogManager would be done only if log4j use was detected before. (This is a 2-line change.)
