Unable to build "bad symbolic reference. A signature in Logging.class refers to term log4j [INFO] in package org.apache which is not available"

[dbakti7]

Seems like latest commit breaks the buildsystem, command used:

mvn -Phadoopbench -Psparkbench -Dspark=3.0 -Dscala=2.12 clean package

Error message snippet:

[ERROR] uncaught exception during compilation: scala.reflect.internal.Types$TypeError
[ERROR] error: scala.reflect.internal.Types$TypeError: bad symbolic reference. A signature in Logging.class refers to term log4j
[INFO] in package org.apache which is not available.
[INFO] It may be completely missing from the current classpath, or the version on
[INFO] the classpath might be incompatible with the version used when compiling Logging.class.

building works for commit 5b50fbe, i.e. if we exclude commit 29224b9
Please advise on how to proceed.. Thank you!
