Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-428:
------------------------------------
Layouts are meant to handle the formatting of messages while Appenders are the
delivery channel. The problem I have here is that you have intertwined these
concepts.
The splitting of large messages could be an issue, but I think we could address
that in a general way. I really don't like that the GELF appender has its own
flavor of the TCP and UDP appenders. Furthermore, I see no reason why GELF
shouldn't be allowed with other appenders, such as a FileAppender,
FlumeAppender, etc. So making it a Layout is the preferred way to go in my
opinion.
