Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-12055:
-------------------------------------

My conclusion, which I told the log4j user list was probably going to be the 
case: switching to async is not going to be a magic bullet for the majority of 
users.  What it might do is offer better scalability for users who push the 
limits of Solr.  I think we should do it.

> Enable async logging by default

> When SOLR-7887 is done, switching to async logging will be a simple change to 
> the config files for log4j2. This will reduce contention and increase 
> throughput generally and logging in particular.
> There's a discussion of the pros/cons here: 
> https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.0/manual/async.html
> An alternative is to put a note in the Ref Guide about how to enable async 
> logging.
> I guess even if we enable async by default the ref guide still needs a note 
> about how to _disable_ it.....
