Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-599:
-------------------------------------

[~bruce.brouwer] So far, we've taken the view that the log4j-api module is 100% 
BC within 2.x. It sounds like you want to loosen that to say, yes, we are BC 
for call sites, but all bets are off for implementors of interfaces, which is 
'OK' since we are the main implementors, as far as we can tell.

I am usually a pretty aggressive fellow when it comes to updating things but I 
am worried that we might upset some folks here...

> 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.).
