I see that the KafkaLog4jAppender uses a SyncProducer to send messages. I'm assuming the means that if no broker is available, the client program will throw an error (rather then enqueue/cache the message locally until a broker is available). Would an AsyncProducer be a good fit for use with a slightly modified KafkaLog4jAppender? If so, this would make the producer code more resilient to network outages.
