Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-1418:
-------------------------------------

Actually, is there any reason we cannot just change the return type of 
getMessageFactory to MessageFactory2?

{code}
package org.apache.logging.log4j;
public interface Logger {
    /**
     * Gets the message factory used to convert message Objects and Strings 
into actual log Messages.
     *
     * @return the message factory.
     */
    MessageFactory2 getMessageFactory();
...
{code}


> Provide MessageFactory2 to custom Logger implementations

> It would be useful for a custom Logger implementation to be able to get hold 
> of a {{MessageFactory2}} (and not just a {{MessageFactory}}), in order to 
> efficiently process {{CharSequence}} etc.
> {{Logger.getMessageFactory()}} return {{MessageFactory}}, even though the 
> sole implementation in {{AbstractLogger}} do have a {{MessageFactory2}} 
> available.
