-----------------------------------
Summary: Support additional compression formats for rollover
Key: LOG4J2-1075
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1075
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Appenders
Affects Versions: 2.3
Reporter: Remko Popma
Assignee: Remko Popma
Fix For: 2.4
RollingFileAppender and RollingRandomAccessFileAppender currently support two
compression formats: gzip and zip.
Java has built-in support for these formats so these are guaranteed to work
without external dependencies.
However, there are formats that give much better compression, for example bzip2.
At work, we have a requirement to store large log files in smaller format for
long term storage. I would like to be able to do this at rollover. Currently we
gzip at rollover and have a separate script unzip and bzip2 these files. It
would be convenient to be able to use bzip2 directly from log4j at rollover.
We can leverage the work done here:
