Hello- There has been a long running thread on solr-dev proposing switching the logging system to use something other then JDK logging. http://www.nabble.com/Solr-Logging-td16836646.html http://www.nabble.com/logging-through-log4j-td13747253.html
We are considering using http://www.slf4j.org/. Check: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-560 The "pro" argument is that: * SLFJ allows more flexibility for people using solr outside the canned .war to configure logging without touching JDK logging. The "con" argument goes something like: * JDK logging is already is the standard logging framework. * JDK logging is already in in use. * SLF4J adds another dependency (for something that already works) On the dev lists there are a strong opinions on either side, but we would like to get a larger sampling of option and validation before making this change. [ ] Keep solr logging as it is. (JDK Logging) [ ] Use SLF4J. As an bonus question (this time fill in the blank): I have tried SOLR-560 with my logging system and ___________________________. thanks ryan
