Description

After importing atlas-client Python library, I got all my loggers disabled.

This is caused by this code block:

https://github.com/apache/atlas/blob/c1daaa44c3833be31c006753a2cf2f6f2e476cdc/intg/src/main/python/apache_atlas/__init__.py

Unlike applications, libraries should not setup logging by themselves. It should be done explicitly by code which uses this client. Or there should be a function to set up desired logging, which also should be explicitly called by application or user.

 

I've created a pull request to fix this issue:
