I'm working on a project where I'm implementing a 3rd party proprietary/(mostly undocumented) network protocol. One of my logging statements dumps each byte as it's received/sent over the network. This is used in the "direst" debugging situations, and can obviously generate a very large number of logging events. (90% or more of the data is just encoded character data, and I also debug each character as it's decoded, so I get alot of events here as well.)
These statements have the level of "DEBUG", but I think these situations warrant a new Level. Say "DEBUG_PEDANTIC". Basically this Level could be used in situations where the statement is a debug statement by definition, but it's called such a HUGE amount of times, and carries so little information, that it's only used in special/rare circumstances. Does this make any sense to add to log4j permanently? Does anyone else have a use for it? Or should I just add it myself to my own copy and use it privately?
