Mikael Ståldal commented on LOG4J2-1329:
----------------------------------------

So what about my [original 
proposal|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/logging-log4j-dev/201603.mbox/%3CCANEH4Wxhq=gjNXB=ygzammmey__xchs_1arylmbx1emy4mz...@mail.gmail.com%3E]
 then:

I suggest we add another method to StringBuilderFormattable:
CharSequence getFormattedMessageBuffer(); // feel free to suggest a better name



> API change: let Message.getFormattedMessage() return CharSequence instead of 
> String

> I propose that we change {{Message.getFormattedMessage()}} to return a 
> {{CharSequence}} instead of a String.
> I believe this change would be backwards compatible (all Message 
> implementations that return a String will work as is), and it opens the way
> for zero-GC Message implementations to return a cached StringBuilder as
