Resolution
In any environment that has a reasonable amount of load setting, setting the root level logging to debug will cause this error and bring the system to a grinding halt since in addition to logging Aveksa debug statements it will log system level debug including all application server wide statements. This is because it is trying to write the logging data to the database and is unable to keep up with the flow of logging.

Root level debug logging should only be used on systems with low usage as a last resort. Instead use the category log levels and if you have a more specific class level you want to debug you can use the Advanced tab (usually engineering will provide class specific debugging requirements).
