Dongjin Lee created KAFKA-13604: ----------------------------------- Summary: Add pluggable logging framework support Key: KAFKA-13604 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13604 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: core, KafkaConnect Reporter: Dongjin Lee Assignee: Dongjin Lee
[discussion thread|https://lists.apache.org/thread/xwgt8ydvnvnqwvhpq2cobgb5wk5mg52t] As of present, Apache Kafka is using log4j 1.x and planning to migrate into log4j 2.x. Dislike Kafka Streams, it calls log4j's API directly, making it hard for the users to replace the logging framework - also making Kafka vulnerable to log4j's security vulnerabilities. Apache Kafka (with Connect) is calling log4j's API directly to support the dynamic logger level change feature; SLF4j does not support this feature yet, but [they are planning to support this|https://jira.qos.ch/browse/SLF4J-124] in the near future. Supporting the pluggable logging framework by using SLF4j as a facade will allow the users to change the actual logging framework, reducing security problems freely. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
