Hi Colin, Currently we are moving away from directly referencing log4j to using slf4j instead (KAFKA-1044). As this jira only aims to remove some runtime dependencies we still need more work but eventually users will be able to change to their own implementation.
Despite all this the current default is still log4j and I think it would be a valuable conversation to have that what whether we keep it as a default in the future (it's quite old but with log4j-extras it can be a competition) or we change to others, like Log4j2 or Logback? What do you think? Viktor On Fri, Nov 17, 2017 at 7:16 PM, Colin McCabe <cmcc...@apache.org> wrote: > I'm curious if there is a reason we do not include log4j-extras in > Kafka.
