Simon Billingsley commented on LOG4J2-479:
------------------------------------------

The ThreadContext.clear method was removed in 2.0-rc2 it is now called: clearAll
There are additional clear methods: clearMap and clearStack - I don't know when 
these were introduced.

This has caused issues with existing code that was written against 2.0-rc1

Also, the manual page still mentions using the clear method to clear the stack 
(in the stack example) when it should be clearStack ?

> Use of InheritableThreadLocal in Map ThreadContext is dangerous and unhelpful

> Described here http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/thread-context.html
> The use of InheritableThreadLocal creates subtle and hard to track bugs while 
> not really adding much useful.  It is counterintuitive -- I don't see why 
> would anyone expect logging context to be inherited.  But it breaks down 
> completely when used with Thread Executors.
