Remko Popma updated LOG4J2-163:
-------------------------------
Attachment: LOG4J2-163-log4j-async.patch
Sorry for the long wait. Please find attached file LOG4J2-163-log4j-async.patch.
This file contains the async loggers and FastFileAppenders in a new module
log4j-async, and also contains patches for the following JIRA tickets that the
log4j-async module depends on:
LOG4J2-151
LOG4J2-153
LOG4J2-157
LOG4J2-164
I also updated pom.xml to add the module and change the compilation version to
Java 6.
> 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
> Reporter: Remko Popma
> Attachments: FastLog4j-v2-for-beta4.zip, FastLog4j-v3-for-beta4.zip,
> FastLog4j-v4-for-beta4.zip, LOG4J2-163-log4j-async.patch

> 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.
