Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-599:
-------------------------------------
The main reason to move to 3.0 is to break binary compatibility (BC). If we do
that then we can merge {{Logger2}} into {{Logger}}. A 3.0 does not have to
break BC of course. Note that for a 3.0 that would be breaking BC, we will
change the package name to something like {{org.apache.logging.log4j3}}.
But for now, for the upcoming 2.4, we are bound by BC, hence the Logger2
interface.
We can update from Java 7 to 8 without breaking BC if we are careful, a
different but related topic.
> Support lambda functions (or similar) for log message parameters

>
> 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.).
