----------------------------------------

Thanks [[email protected]] for the reply.

These days, in Apache Kafka project I am working on one of the issue which 
requires logging in Binary. Kafka right now is having dependency on log4j 
1.2.17. 
I have implemented custom appender extending AppenderSkelton class and writing 
data using DataOutputStream. I am not sure about protocol on which 
DataOutputStream implementation works. Will take a look on this.

One question I want to ask more, is there any utility in log4j 2 for reading 
this binary data back?

> Many of the projects requires to have logging in the binary format for 
> certain scenarios.  There should be a functionality for writing logs in 
> binary format and if users need to consult binary log file then some read 
> utility for it. 
>  
> There are some implementation for it like: 
> (https://code.google.com/p/mfz-binlog/). and it will be great if we can have 
> it log4j.
