Christopher Tubbs commented on ZOOKEEPER-4535:
----------------------------------------------

The difference between apache-zookeeper-3.8.0.tar.gz and 
apache-zookeeper-3.8.0-bin.tar.gz is that the first is the source tarball. The 
Apache Software Foundation produces open source software. Our official releases 
are source artifacts, and contain source code only. It should not contain any 
jars. Projects may also release binary distributions for convenience. This is 
what the second tarball is. It contains a build of the source code into 
executable artifacts.

As for log4j1 vs. logback, please see the release notes: 
https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/current/releasenotes.html for full details of 
changes, but the summary is that log4j1 and some versions of log4j2 have CVEs. 
A decision was made to migrate from log4j1 to logback instead of log4j2. This 
is because logback was smaller and easier to use for some tests, and in some 
developers' opinions, less risky than log4j2. However, since ZooKeeper uses 
slf4j as its logging facade, and only uses logback as a runtime implementation, 
you are free to replace logback with log4j2 or another runtime backend that 
works with slf4j. This option is left to you, as the user, to decide in your 
deployment.

Since these questions don't represent any actual bugs or issues to track, and 
the questions have been answered, I'm closing this issue. If you have further 
questions, I encourage you to read the release notes, or other documentation on 
the website, or ask questions on the user mailing list, whose subscription 
information you can find at https://zookeeper.apache.org/lists.html
