Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-1518:
-------------------------------------

Leon, yes, this may result events end up in the log out of sequence. I agree 
this is undesirable (but it is better than deadlock...) if there are other ways 
around this, I am open to ideas.

My hope is that the case where objects doing logging in their {{toString()}} 
method when the RingBuffer is full is a very rare case...

I haven't addressed this in master yet. I may be able to squeeze fixing the 
DefaultAsyncQueueFullPolicy into 2.7 but it depends on when the release manager 
starts the release...

> Hi,
> It looks like this was reported before in: LOG4J2-471
> We've encountered similar issue with one of the libraries where it's toString 
> was indirectly also logging. This caused a deadlock when RingBuffer was full. 
> Please see attached stack snippet.
> According to the following docs, it's possible to set sync policy to 
> synchronously log the event if buffer is full. I don't see it documented. 
> What's the policy option?
