Hi, Yes, you are right. There are few problems reported in API DOC of log4j (the lines you pasted.). We had faced the same issue, and we were not sure if DailyRollingFileAppender will cause any data loss?
Instead of that, we had used "org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender". Using this class you can implment TimeBasedRollingPolicy. And it is the safer way to use this for Time based log rotation intead of size based. Please let me know, if you need detailed steps to configure later method. I will be happy to help you in this.
