Description

Storm 0.10.0 comes with log4j-core 2.1 and I can't find any way to override it in my app. I need 2.4.x+ in order to use the kafka appender. I have even tried to relocate the org.apache.logging.log4j in my shade configuration but even then I'm getting errors like this :

ERROR StatusLogger Log4j2 could not find a logging implementation. Please add log4j-core to the classpath. Using SimpleLogger to log to the console...

Thanks in advance.
