Upgrading Solr 6 to use Log4j 2.x

Is it possible to upgrade Solr 6 to use Log4j 2.x?

We have some external dependencies on Solr 6 but would like to upgrade Log4j to the latest.

Solution

  • From the Apache documentation

    Apache Solr releases prior to 7.4 (i.e. Solr 5, Solr 6, and Solr 7 
through 7.3) use Log4J 1.2.17 which may be vulnerable for installations 
using non-default logging configurations that include the JMS Appender,

for discussion.
