             Summary: Remove GenericsUtil isLog4jLogger
                 Key: HADOOP-16717
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16717
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.2
            Reporter: David Mollitor


Remove this method:

{code:java}
  /**
   * Determine whether the log of <code>clazz</code> is Log4j implementation.
   * @param clazz a class to be determined
   * @return true if the log of <code>clazz</code> is Log4j implementation.
   */
  public static boolean isLog4jLogger(Class<?> clazz) {
    if (clazz == null) {
      return false;
    }
    Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(clazz);
    return log instanceof Log4jLoggerAdapter;
  }
{code}

This creates a dependency on Log4jLoggerAdapter (slf4j-log4j12) which means 
that any project which depends on hadoop-commons needs to carry this dependency 
as well.  Such a simple use case and such a heavy dependency.  The commons 
library should not depend on any specific implementation of SLF4J binding
