    Description

      log4j1 has been unmaintained and end of life for a while. Given the need for security and fixes for CVEs, this is unmaintainable. One option is to switch to log4j2, and that is tracked in IMPALA-9601. However, there is also the reload4j project (https://reload4j.qos.ch/) which is maintaining a patched log4j1.

      If this is a drop-in replacement, then this may be an easier path in the short term. It sounds worth exploring.
