Holger Hoffstätte commented on ZOOKEEPER-850:
---------------------------------------------

Why would log4j be required for "testing"? That's a *bug*. The whole problem is 
that you're tying "management" functionality to your logging library, and that 
needs to be removed (or more precisely separated). The coupling of ManagedUtil 
to log4j is a blocker for resolving this issue. It may not be relevant for 
running the server standalone, but it is a HUGE problem for running the server 
"embedded" (e.g. in an app server) just as it is for the "client-only" side of 
things. Which of course is just another case for separating the two in the 
first place. :(

> Hello,
> i would like to see slf4j integrated into the zookeeper instead of relying 
> explicitly on log4j.
> slf4j is an abstract logging framework. There are adapters from slf4j to many 
> logger implementations, one of them is log4j.
> The decision which log engine to use i dont like to make so early.
> This would help me to embed zookeeper in my own applications (which use a 
> different logger implemenation, but slf4j is the basis)
> What do you think?
> (as i can see, those slf4j request flood all other projects on apache as well 
> :-)
> Maybe for 3.4 or 4.0?
> I can offer a patchset, i have experience in such an migration already. :-)
