Github user srowen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark/pull/570#issuecomment-35784348 @pwendell For jcl, yeah have a look at places where this PR excludes commons-logging, like for netty and jets3t. jul is used by, well, Java's own libraries I suppose. I suppose the thought was to let everything be controlled centrally. Shimming a java.* class always felt a bit funny, but, on the other hand I trust slf4j works. FWIW those were the thoughts.
