Anthony Maire commented on LOG4J2-1441: --------------------------------------- I'm not sure I know the code base well enough to provide a clean solution to fix this, but I can try :) > Asynchronous logging + immediateFlush=false appenders : potential data > retention on end of batch event > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LOG4J2-1441 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1441 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.6 > Reporter: Anthony Maire > Attachments: example_LOG4J2-1441.zip, flush_fail_1441.zip > > > When using asynchronous logging, suggestion is made to use > immediateFlush=false for file-based appenders and rely on the end of batch > detection to perform the flush, which is supposed to happen in a timely manner > As per AsyncLogger JavaDoc > {quote} > For best performance, use AsyncLogger with the RandomAccessFileAppender or > RollingRandomAccessFileAppender, with immediateFlush=false > {quote} > As per File/RandomAccessFile appenders doc on the site > {quote} > Flushing after every write is only useful when using this appender with > synchronous loggers. Asynchronous loggers and appenders will automatically > flush at the end of a batch of events, even if immediateFlush is set to > false. This also guarantees the data is written to disk but is more efficient. > {quote} > However if there are multiple appenders for the same asynchronous mechanism > (either multiple appenderRef for an AsyncAppender or multiple AsyncLoggers > since they share the same disruptor instance), the last event of the batch > will only flush the appenders that are actually logging it, and data on other > appenders won't be flushed. > I made a small example using 2 asynchronous loggers, same kind of issue > should occur with several appenders linked to the same AsyncAppender when the > last event is filtered out because of it's level or a custom filter. > - 10 second after the start, all events are processed but the main thread > will not exit because of an infinite loop > - 2 events where processed by root logger and correctly logged in the console > appender > - only one event has been flushed to the file (the file appender is attached > to root logger too) > - I made a heap dump on the JVM, it shows that the RandomAccessFileManager > internal byte buffer has pending data ( byteBuffer.position=61) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-dev-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-dev-h...@logging.apache.org
