             Summary: Use JMH for Log4j2 performance tests
                 Key: LOG4J2-654
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-654
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0-rc2
            Reporter: Remko Popma
            Assignee: Remko Popma
             Fix For: 2.0-rc2


I've been using JMH (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/code-tools/jmh/ ) for 
performance tests recently and I'm very impressed. JMH is developed by the 
Oracle java performance team and used internally by Oracle to performance tune 
the JVM and java core libraries.

I would like to use JMH to start building a suite of performance tests for 
log4j2.

I propose adding a log4j-perf module. This is where our performance test code 
would live. JMH microbenchmarks are very simple java classes with 
org.openjdk.jmh annotations. During the build, JMH generates code and that 
generated code, together with all dependencies are zipped up in a large 
uber-jar with the maven Shade plugin. You can then use java -jar 
microbenchmarks.jar to run performance tests.

JMH is released under the GPL v2 license (incompatible with the Apache License 
v2) so we need to be careful not to include the generated microbenchmarks.jar 
or any other GPL files in the log4j distribution.
