Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-927:
------------------------------------

[~eschizoid] FYI: the work done in 2.4 for  LOG4J2-1120 and LOG4J2-1121 may 
have resolved this issue.

Also be aware that Async Loggers are being refactored for log4j 2.5 to address 
issues in web containers: LOG4J2-493, LOG4J2-323, LOG4J2-1172. Essentially, 
each log4j Configuration can now have a separate AsyncLoggerConfigHelper and 
associated Disruptor instance, and similarly each AsyncLoggerContext now has a 
separate AsyncLoggerHelper and associated Disruptor instance.
As a result, the code for AbstractConfiguration#stop() has changed a lot (and 
is much simpler now).

>             Project: Log4j 2
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Appenders
>    Affects Versions: 2.1

> I have an application in which I'm using all async loggers. When I stop the 
> LoggerContext, there're still some events waiting in disruptor's buffer and 
> when it tries to execute them the context is already closed and thus those 
> events are lost. In the case of a RollingFileAppender, I get an IOException 
> because the outputStream has already been closed.
> As a debugging technique, I did an Appedder decorator that looks like this:
> {code:java}
> final class StopConditionSafeAppenderWrapper extends BaseAppenderWrapper
> {
>     private final LoggerContext loggerContext;
>     StopConditionSafeAppenderWrapper(Appender delegate, LoggerContext 
> loggerContext)
>     {
>         super(delegate);
>         this.loggerContext = loggerContext;
>     }
>     @Override
>     public void append(LogEvent event)
>     {
>         if (!loggerContext.isStarted()) {
>              return;
>         }
>         super.append(event);
>     }
> }
> {code}
> With the help of a debugger, I could verify that when the append method was 
> invoked the loggerContext was started but then by the time the exception 
> occurred it was closed.
> It checked the code at LoggerContext#stop() and saw that there's code to 
> prevent disruptor from taking new events once a stop() has been invoked, but 
> there's no code to wait for the ring buffer to be fully consumed before 
> actually stopping.
