Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-4129:
------------------------------------

bq. Shawn, how could you have both log4j-over-slf4 and log4j itself on the 
classpath? That doesn't make sense and SLF4J will probably complain; if it 
doesn't it's still an error. If your intent is to use Log4j then remove 
log4j-over-slf4.

I did this because I didn't know any better.  I'm a bit of a beginner in the 
Java universe.  I added the slf4j things included in the standard WAR except 
for the JUL binding, then added the log4j binding and log4j.  There are no 
complaints about it in my log.  It's probably not complaining because 
alphabetically, the real log4j jar comes before the slf4j one, so when the 
import is done, the right class gets loaded.

After removing log4j-over-slf4j, Solr still seems fine.  Both before and after 
the removal, logging at WARN, the only log entry I get is "Log watching is not 
yet implemented for log4j."

I would like to have short logs saying that each core has been started and that 
Solr is fully started.  Would it be reasonable to file a jira asking for this 
to happen at WARN, or would I just have to figure out which class(es) to set to 
INFO in my log4j config?

> For many project use the log4j, actually solr use slf logger framework, slf 
> can easy to integrate with log4j by design. 
> Solr use log4j-over-slf.jar to handle log4j case.
> This jar has some issues.
> a. Actually last invoke slf to print the logger (For solr it is 
> JDK14.logging).
> b. Not implement all log4j function. ex. Logger.setLevel() 
> c. JDK14 log miss some function, ex. thread.info, day rolling 
> Some dependence project had been used log4j that the customer still want to 
> use it. JDK14 log has many different with Log4j, at least configuration file 
> can't reuse.
> The bad thing is log4j-over-slf.jar conflict with log4j. If use solr, the 
> other project have to remove log4j.
> I think it shouldn't use log4j-over-slf.jar, still reuse log4j if customer 
> want to use it.
