             Summary: Add support for custom rollover strategy
                 Key: LOG4J2-1198
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1198
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Appenders
    Affects Versions: 2.4.1
            Reporter: Remko Popma
             Fix For: 2.5


[DefaultRolloverStrategy|http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/appenders.html#DefaultRolloverStrategy]
 has a very compact configuration, but as a trade-off has become a bit 
monolithic. I find it difficult to unit test and maintain. 

Continuing in the spirit of the work done for LOG4J2-435, I would like to break 
out components for the different kinds of processing done by 
DefaultRolloverStrategy so that they can be individually configured and 
combined by users. Users would configure a CustomRolloverStrategy by specifying 
nested actions that define what needs to be done during a rollover.

The DefaultRolloverStrategy would still continue to work as current, but under 
the hood can delegate to these components.

_At this stage the above is still just a concept. The description is to be 
updated when it becomes more clear if and how this would work._
