Hi, Ralph,
my trivial guess would be, that the AsyncAppender somewhere has code like this:
void pushToBackend(LogEvent[] events) {
Appender backend = syncAppender;
for (LogEvent ev : events) {
backend.append(ev);
}
}
which might be changed to
void pushToBackend(LogEvent[] events) {
Appender backend = syncAppender;
if (backend instanceof BatchableAppender) {
((BatchableAppender) backend).append(events);
} else {
for (LogEvent ev : events) {
backend.append(ev);
}
}
}
Thus, if my Appender implements BatchableAppender (with the additional method),
then I could have what I wanted without any changes in my code.
