> Many buffered Appenders have an attribute "immediateFlush" that gives users
> the option to follow each write with a flush to ensure that all messages are
> available on disk. The drawback of the immediateFlush idiom is the
> performance impact of touching the disk on every single event.
> If the appender could determine from the current LogEvent whether any more
> events are expected, it could avoid unnecessary flushes and only write to
> disk when the last event was received (or the buffer is full).
> This would work especially nicely when receiving bursts of events - a common
> scenario - when you want to avoid adding more overhead to a system that is
> already very busy.
> Asynchronous loggers and appenders are well-positioned to use such a
> mechanism: they can easily call LogEvent.setEndOfBatch(true) if the current
> event is the last one in the queue.
> The patches I proposed for LOG4J2-151 and LOG4J2-163 already use this
> mechanism internally. The FastFileAppender included in these patches checks
> if a log event is a specific class, casts the event to that class, and
> finally calls the isEndOfBatch method on that event. However I think the idea
> is generally applicable to any buffered appender and adding these methods to
> the LogEvent interface would benefit users of the existing AsynchAppender and
> OutputStreamAppender classes.
