Provide support for SLF4J type Markers
--------------------------------------
Key: LOG4J2-16
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-16
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Core
Reporter: Ralph Goers
We wrote our own logging framework primarily because log4j didn't provide some
of the features we needed. One feature was more granularity, especially around
logging. We encourage entry and exit tracing, logging of input and output data,
logging of elapsed time statistics and several other flavors if "debug"
information. Turning all this on in production generates too much data. Our
framework supported the concept of Log Type in addition to Log Level. When
filtering there was a LogType array where each array element was the log level.
The LogRecord contained the LogType and LogLevel so doing filtering was very
fast.
SLF4J supports Markers. These can essentially be used for the same purpose
(assuming another Jira issue regarding filtering is implemented). Markers are
much more flexible since they can be arbitrarily created. Loggers should then
be able to filter on whether a marker is present in addition to the LogLevel.
