             Summary: slf4j bindings other than jdk -- cannot change log levels
                 Key: SOLR-3979
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3979
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.0
            Reporter: Shawn Heisey
             Fix For: 4.1


Once I finally got log4j logging working, I was slightly surprised by the 
message related to SOLR-3426.  I did not really consider that to be a big deal, 
because if I want to look at my log, I'll be on the commandline anyway.

I was even more surprised to find that I cannot change any of the log levels 
from the admin gui.  My default log level is WARN for performance reasons, but 
every once in a while I like to bump the log level to INFO to troubleshoot a 
specific problem, then turn it back down.  This is very easy with jdk logging 
in either 3.x or 4.0.  I changed to log4j because it easily allows me to put 
the date of a log message on the same line as the first line of the actual log 
message, so when I grep for things, I have the timestamp in the grep output.

Currently the only way for me to change my log level is by updating 
log4j.properties and restarting Solr.  If the capability to figure this out on 
a class-by-class basis isn't there with log4j, I would at least like to be able 
to set the root logging level.  Is that possible?
