[jira] [Created] (FLUME-2050) Upgrade to log4j2 (when GA)

Edward Sargisson created FLUME-2050:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Upgrade to log4j2 (when GA)
                 Key: FLUME-2050
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2050
             Project: Flume
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Edward Sargisson


Log4j1 is being abandoned in favour of log4j2. Log4j2, by all that I've seen, has better concurrency handling and the Log4j2 FlumeAppender is nice (easily configurable, 3 different styles of agents).

Log4j1 has a concurrency defect which means that rolling over a log file into a directory for the Flume spool directory source will not be reliable. Log4j2 has fixed this.

Alternatively the log4j2 FlumeAppender may allow Flume to log its own logs via itself.
