Gwen Shapira commented on KAFKA-2716: ------------------------------------- Log4j Appender was in core in 0.8.2, we moved it out so users can use the log4j appender without having to carry the rest of Kafka along... Perhaps this is why the dependency exists? to avoid breaking existing usage? > Make Kafka core not depend on log4j-appender > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2716 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2716 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Ashish K Singh > Assignee: Ashish K Singh > > Investigate why core needs to depend on log4j-appender. AFAIK, there is no > real dependency, however it the dependency is removed, tests won't build it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
