Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-163:
------------------------------------
Could you please rework the patch to make it be a separate Maven module -
log4j-async. Ideally I would like it as a patch file where I could run the
patch command to apply it to trunk, however I could take a zip of the new
module and then just patches for the modifications to the existing stuff.
Also, I build and run on a Mac and for some reason I could not run the binaries
you put in one of your previous patches. I finally had to recompile them.
I also noted that you are running your tests without specifying -server. You
should always do that on Windows.
> Create asynchronous Logger for low-latency logging

> Key: LOG4J2-163
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-163
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta4

> One of the main considerations for selecting a logging library is
> performance, specifically, how long it takes for a call to Logger.log to
> return. (See the comments of LOG4J-151 for a discussion of latency versus
> application throughput and logging throughput.)
> I believe it is possible to improve this performance by an order of magnitude
> by having an asynchronous Logger implementation that hands off the work to a
> separate thread as early as possible. The disk I/O would be done in this
> separate thread.
> AsynchAppender is not a good match for these requirements, as with that
> approach (a) the logging call still needs to flow down the hierarchy to the
> appender, doing synchronization and creating objects at various points on the
> way, and (b) when serializing the LogEvent, the getSource() method is always
> called, which is expensive.
