> 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.
