[slf4j-user] Structured logging using slf4j

[Chetan Mehrotra]

If you are using Logback as the implementation you can probably make
use of layout support [1] and provide your custom layout. The layout
would have access to the objects passed as part of logger arguments
and can then interpret it as per your requirement
