Can we support pluggable interface based logger?

It would be nice to use a interface based logger option with multi-level output support. The current log implementation produces too many debug logs which are rarely useful.

Start by reviewing the current logging implementation and its call sites. Determine the interface and multi-level behavior needed to replace the existing logger, then verify that callers can select useful output levels without the current excess debug logging.
