I haven't seen any discussion. There is a VectorAppender in tests/
src used in the unit tests, but it isn't generally useful since it
never writes things out. Use WriterAppender with a custom Writer
implementation that buffers the formatted output until some signal to
discard or commit the changes. There are a lot of tuning type issues
(number of messages to cache, trigger for discard/commit) that you'd
want to work out that makes it unlikely to come up with a generic
solution. If you had a memory based disk, you could have RFA place
the active log file on the memory disk and tweak the rolling policy
to discard the file or move to more permanent storage based on your
criteria.
