------------------------------
> Make Blocking the default WaitStrategy for Async Loggers
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-574
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-574
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 2.0-rc1
> Reporter: Remko Popma
> Assignee: Remko Popma
> Fix For: 2.0-rc2
>
>
> With Asynchronous Loggers, the wait strategy determines what the consumer
> thread does when the queue is empty and it is waiting for events. The LMAX
> Disruptor offers several options, as some specialized apps want to avoid the
> latency of waking up a blocked thread. These options have different
> trade-offs, with busy spin on one end of the spectrum and blocking on the
> other.
> In log4j we only expose a limited set of these options (no busy spin), and
> originally chose SleepingWait as the default as it seemed to have the best
> performance in testing.
> It turned out that in some environments the current default of
> SleepingWaitStrategy may result in excessive CPU usage (LOG4J2-571). To avoid
> such problems this ticket proposes to change the default wait strategy for
> Async Loggers to BlockingWaitStrategy.
