Description

/* Line 379 */
      if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) {
        LOG.debug(msg, e);
      } else {
        LOG.fatal(msg);
      }

Why would message, considered "fatal" under most operating circumstances be considered "debug" when debugging is on. This is confusing to say the least. If there is a problem and the user attempts to debug the situation, they may be filtering on "fatal" messages and miss the exception.

Please consider using only the fatal logging, and including the exception.
