Hi Dev, We are in process of upgrading the from 0.8.1 to trunk. I have noticed that Java New Kafka Producer Lib uses SLF4J api to log kafka logs. We have our own library which send all LOGGER.logXXX("MSG")" using the Kafka Lib so what is best way avoid it. One of way is to avoid all producer side logs ignore package "kafka.producer.*" and "org.apache.kafka.clients.producer". I have to do this order to avoid potential DEADLOCK with Kafka Threads and send methods..
https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/0.8.1/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/producer/Producer.java Our use cases is to send all the logs to brokers. Let me know your suggestions. Thanks, Bhavesh
