I've been working on updating the hadoop package to the latest 2.4.0
release and at this point I've resolved all the issues but I'm now
blocked by the log4j2 update. log4j2 breaks the hadoop build pretty
severely, and it doesn't seem the log4j2 team has spent much time
thinking about how to provide backwards compatibility to existing
log4j1.2 users. From my investigation of log4j2:
log4j.properties file is no longer read at all
configuration file is now in XML or JSON
configuration file name is log4j2.[xml|json|jsn]
V2 isn't backwards compatible with V1. There's a shim for v1 api but
it will only work for a limited set of cases, and for some cases it
does work for it turns some operations into noop calls.
This is a pretty major change and even the compatibility layer, if it
will work for a project, does not seem to guarantee like functionality
and minimally will require a re-do of all log4j configuration files a
project ships. I'm not sure many sizable upstream projects would
undertake/accept such a drastic change very quickly.
The list of projects currently blocked by this update are:
hadoop
hbase
oozie
hive
apache-log4j-extras
amplab-tachyon
I would be surprised if there aren't a lot more. I understand Fedora
is always pushing for the latest versions, but for some fundamental
packages can there be compatibility packages introduced at the same
time as an incompatible update? Package maintainers of dependent
packages will still need to touch their packages and determine if the
new version will work for them. Providing a compat package will also
allow packages to update to their newer versions while not held up on
trying to integrate changes from a compatibility breaking dependency
update.

hi
other packages with the same problem:
hazelcast
jamonapi
metrics
snmp4j
solr
uimaj
propose:
remove compatibility link and alias fron log4j (2.x)
and create log4j1 package
