> We use Reflections to scan the classpath for available plugins (connectors,
> converters, transformations), but when doing so Reflections tends to generate
> a lot of log noise like this:
> {code}
> [2017-05-12 14:59:48,224] WARN could not get type for name
> org.jboss.netty.channel.SimpleChannelHandler from any class loader

> Despite being benign, these warnings worry users, especially first time users.
> We should either a) see if we can get Reflections to turn off these specific
> warnings via some config or b) make Reflections only log at > WARN by default
> in our log4j config. (b) is probably safe since we should only be seeing
> these at startup and I don't think I've seen any actual issue logged at WARN.
