Description

Currently the commons/log module uses a private implementation of the SLF4J SPI to provide logging to the console or to log files. In that respect we provide a small subset of the functionality or more complete SLF4J SPI implementations like logback or nlog4j.

We should probably consider to drop our implementation and instead use Log4J (somewhat older but offers more appenders and is an ASF project widely used and supported) or LogBack (more modern but offers less appenders)
