SNOW-1348192 SLF4J logging requires explicit configuration

[futureviperowner]

Looking over the JDBC driver documentation for logging, it looks like I shouldn't have to explicitly tell the driver to use an SLF4J logger provided I have the necessary logger implementation on my classpath. However, that's not the behavior I'm observing. The snowflake driver is defaulting to the JDK14Logger in my project despite the presence of a StaticLoggerBinder. If I explicitly set the java system property, then it uses SLF4J. After reviewing the code for the driver, it looks to me like it's solely dependent on the java system property to make this decision.

Am I misunderstanding something or is the documentation incorrect?

Looks like you are right. Let me dig more and if there is no codeto use custom logger from classpath then we will change the doc. Thanks for reporting the issue.

The documentation definitely needs to change as a starting point because this never worked in the manner described here.
