> KafkaLog4jAppender is quite useful for us to send our log4j logs to the Kafka
> system with ease. However, according to our experience, it is not so that
> convenient to customize the message content before emitting it out.
> Sometimes, we need to decorate the message like adding more system level
> information before passing it to the producer. I wonder if it is possible to
> add one subAppend() function, like org.apache.log4j.WriterAppender does.
> Thus, the end user can customize their message by overwriting the subAppend()
> only in their own hierarchy class, and re-use all the rest part.
