Actually, I kind of like the idea of adding a getAttributes() method to the
Appender interface. Then each concrete Appender would do:
public void getAttributes() {
Map<String, String> attributes = new HashMap<>();
super.getAttributes(attributes):
attributes.put(“myAttribute1”, “value1”);
return Collections.unmodifiableMap(attributes);
}
