But in log4j2 there is a `ThreadContext` instead of `MDC` which can hold only key value pairs. So changing the `proxyUserName` on the `AuditContext` won't change the the threadContext without reattaching (thus populating the key values) again. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
