Description

We wanted to remove the log4j.jar but ended up with a dependency on the kafka.producer.ProducerConfig.

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Logger
    at kafka.utils.Logging.logger(Logging.scala:24)

Is there any configuration available which can resolve this error.
Please note we are not using log4j.properties or any other log4j logging mechanism for Kafka connection in the application.
