----------------------------------
Summary: Support more flexible serialization in Log4jAppender
Key: KAFKA-1967
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1967
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Jesse Yates
Fix For: 0.8.3
It would be nice to allow subclasses of the standard KafkfaLog4jAppender to be
able to serialize the LoggingEvent however they chose, rather than always
having to write out a string.
A possible use case - the one I'm interested in - allows implementors to
convert the event to any sort of bytes. This means downstream consumers don't
lose data based on the logging format, but instead can get the entire event to
do with as they please
