Anthony Baldocchi commented on LOG4J2-467:
------------------------------------------
Remko, thank you for your quick feedback. My use case does not require this to
be configurable on a per-logger basis; a global setting would suit me fine. I
mentioned the potential for it being set on a per-logger basis simply as a
middle-ground option if there was an expedient method for enabling such.

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9
> Environment: Debian Squeeze amd64
> OpenJDK 7u25
> Reporter: Anthony Baldocchi

> AsyncLogger caches a thread's name in a thread-local info variable. I make
> use of a thread pool where the submitted Runnables call Thread.setName() at
> the beginning of their task and the thread name is included in the log
> message. For an example of this behavior, see
> org.jboss.netty.util.ThreadRenamingRunnable in Netty 3.x. With the cached
> thread name, the log messages will contain whatever name the thread had when
> it logged for the first time and so long as the thread doesn't terminate
> (such as in a core pool thread), all log messages involving this thread will
> be erroneous. If Thread.getName has a significant performance impact for
> async logging, I would be satisfied if this behavior were configurable,
> perhaps on a per-logger basis, so that the penalty only needs to be taken by
> users who make use of Thread.setName()
