> Hadoop's {{JvmMetrics}}, which HBase also is using in Metrics2 and provides it as an MBean, has the ability to count log4j log calls. This is tracked by a special {{Appender}} class, also provided by Hadoop, called {{EventCounter}}. 
> We should add some info how to enable this (or maybe even enable it by default?).
> The appender needs to be added in two places, shown here:
> {noformat}
> hbase.root.logger=INFO,console
> ...
> # Define the root logger to the system property "hbase.root.logger".
> log4j.rootLogger=${hbase.root.logger}, EventCounter
> log4j.appender.EventCounter=org.apache.hadoop.log.metrics.EventCounter
> {noformat}
> We could simply add this commented out akin to the {{hbase-env.sh}}.
