METRON-975: Normalize logging and switch to common idiom with SLF4J https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-975 We currently have a mixture of logging approaches scattered throughout the codebase. Log4j, slf4j, and commons logging. In addition, there are some deprecated idioms being used to declare loggers (post-jdk 7) and format strings within the logging statements. This PR handles converting and normalizing Metron's logging over to slf4j in all major metron-platform areas except for tests. It also converts logging in metron-analytics, with the exception of MaaS which is currently leveraging commons logging. I've made a few types of changes (change varietals?). 1. Normalized logger factory calls to the following `LoggerFactory.getLogger(MethodHandles.lookup().lookupClass());` , per https://www.slf4j.org/faq.html#declaration_pattern 2. Removed `LOG.isDebugEnabled()` in instances where the SLF4J parameterized messages is a better option, e.g. `logger.debug("The entry is {}.", entry);`. I have *not* changed this implementation in instances where more costly operations are being done, like string concatenation derived from parsing or serializing json into string form, per https://www.slf4j.org/faq.html#logging_performance 3. Replaced string concatenation with parameterized nessages. I did this even when a formatted string precedes an exception/throwable. The javadoc wasn't immediately clear about this, but as of SLF4J 1.6 a final exception argument will be treated as an exception rather than as an object for use during parameterization - https://www.slf4j.org/faq.html#paramException Testing instructions to follow. For starters, I've compared the number of lines in the Travis build output before and after this change and see no notable difference in total number of lines. ## Pull Request Checklist Thank you for submitting a contribution to Apache Metron.
