-----------------------------------
Summary: New method on LifeCycle interface breaks binary
compatibility
Key: LOG4J2-1591
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1591
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Remko Popma
Priority: Blocker
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1539 introduced method
{{stop(long, TimeUnit)}}.
LifeCycle is a top level interface extended by Appender, Configuration, Filter
and Filterable. This change will break implementations that don't extend our
abstract classes.
We should pull the new method out into a new {{LifeCycle2 extends LifeCycle}}
interface. Our abstract super classes would all implement the new interface.
In places where we are given a LifeCycle object and want to invoke the new
method we first need to check that it implements LifeCycle2. If it doesn't, our
code should probably call the existing stop() method so that existing custom
user code continues to work.
