Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-163:
------------------------------------
Thanks. That makes it even more compelling to require Java 6 for compilation.
The rationale for targeting JDK5 is simply that we haven't run into anything
that prevents us from doing that. However, I think that I am going to change
that since I never actually test on Java 5 and unless I, or someone else, is
willing to do that in every release then we shouldn't claim to support it.
> Create asynchronous Logger for low-latency logging

> 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.
