Mikael Ståldal commented on LOG4J2-599:
---------------------------------------
Another approach could be to keep the current Logger interface as it is, and
add a new Logger interface with Java 8 features in a separate module (such as
"log4j-java8", which could then depend on Java 8 even if the rest of Log4j
should continue to work on Java 7).
Then we could do the same with log4j-scala, log4j-groovy, etc.
> Support lambda functions (or similar) for log message parameters

> Key: LOG4J2-599
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-599
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Brainstorming
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Matt Sicker
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: Java8
>
> It would be nice if we could support 0-param lambda functions (or the
> equivalent: interfaces with a single empty-parameter message call), or more
> simply, allow Runnables (or something similar) to be passed which will be
> dynamically executed if the log message is enabled.
> The use case here is that although string construction of the log message is
> a performance issue that is already solved quite well, the problem of adding
> in information to the log message that makes other calculations still needs
> to be wrapped in an if check.
> I'm not sure if it'd be best to just use Runnable, or create a new interface,
> or try to emulate how Java 1.8 lambdas work via an interface with a single
> method defined. The details here would still need to be fleshed out, but I
> think this sort of feature could be rather handy (especially in a Java 1.8+
> environment, or in Groovy/Scala/etc.).
