nickwallen opened a new pull request #1559: METRON-2314 HDFSIndexingIntegrationTests Fails with SLF4J/Log4j Delegation Loop URL: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/1559 After merging #1557 from master into the `feature/METRON-2088-support-hdp-3.1` feature branch, the `HDFSIndexingIntegrationTest` fails. ``` Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.185 sec <<< FAILURE! - in org.apache.metron.indexing.integration.HDFSIndexingIntegrationTest test(org.apache.metron.indexing.integration.HDFSIndexingIntegrationTest) Time elapsed: 0.177 sec <<< ERROR! java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:264) at org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerFactory.<clinit>(Log4jLoggerFactory.java:48) ... Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Detected both log4j-over-slf4j.jar AND slf4j-log4j12.jar on the class path, preempting StackOverflowError.

The purpose of `slf4j-log4j12` is intended to redirect calls made to an SLF4J logger to Log4j. The purpose of `log4j-over-slf4j` is to redirect calls made to a Log4j logger to SLF4J. Pulling in both would cause endless indirection except for the specific check for this error performed by SLF4j. See [the SLF4j documentation here](http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#log4jDelegationLoop) for more information. The `metron-indexing-storm` project was pulling in `log4j-over-slf4j` incorrectly as a transitive. This needs to be explicitly excluded. ### Acceptance Testing The integration tests should pass. ### Pull Request Checklist - [ ] Is there a JIRA ticket associated with this PR?
