Interface LoggerProvider

@ThreadSafe public interface LoggerProvider
A registry for creating scoped Loggers. The name Provider is for consistency with other languages and it is NOT loaded using reflection.

The OpenTelemetry logging API exists to enable the creation of log appenders, which bridge logs from other log frameworks (e.g. SLF4J, Log4j, JUL, Logback, etc) into OpenTelemetry via Logger.logRecordBuilder(). It is NOT a replacement log framework.
