------------------------------------

Can't I achieve the same by configuring an AsyncAppender as below :
Do you see any downside in doing this ?

{code}
    <appender class="org.apache.log4j.AsyncAppender" name="ASYNC_HDFS_AUDIT">
         <param name="BufferSize" value="500"/>
         <appender-ref ref="HDFS_AUDIT"/>
     </appender>
    <logger additivity="false" 
name="org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSNamesystem.audit">
        <level value="info"/>
        <appender-ref ref="ASYNC_HDFS_AUDIT"/>
    </logger>
{code}

> HDFS-5241 added an option for async log4j audit logging.  The option is 
> considered semi-experimental and should be documented in hdfs-defaults.xml 
> after it's stability under stress is proven.
