Ashish K Singh commented on KAFKA-2132: --------------------------------------- [~jkreps], [~charmalloc] thanks for the inputs here. We all agree that we should not have log4j as dependency. As [~jkreps] pointed out, moving Log4jAppender to admin tools package will again bring us back to the original problem. I am more inclined towards having it in a separate package. However, I will wait for [~charmalloc] to reply with this thoughts, before submitting a patch. > Move Log4J appender to clients module > ------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2132 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2132 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Gwen Shapira > Assignee: Ashish K Singh > > Log4j appender is just a producer. > Since we have a new producer in the clients module, no need to keep Log4J > appender in "core" and force people to package all of Kafka with their apps. > Lets move the Log4jAppender to clients module. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
