We want to make sure that `getLogger(name, mf)` returns the object that was inserted using `putIfAbsent(name, mf, logger)`. This way `getLogger` will not return `null` even if `(name, mf)` is different from `(logger.getName(), logger.getMessageFactory())`. 2. I want to use the `messageFactory` argument, so it does not become unreachable. This is not a very important argument, since `messageFactory` might become unreachable right after the `putIfAbsent` method call. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
