Hi, all
I am getting the error below trying to reconfigure log4j programmatically.

Seems the same or similar problem described here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-807
Here is the project which reproduces this issue:
https://github.com/dennysfredericci/log4j2-filter-spike
If I replace the Configurator.reconfigure(config); call to config.stop();
config.start(); everything works fine, but i am not sure if this is the
right way to "reconfigure" log4j.
What I am doing to reconfigure is correct? Is it a bug on log4j? Or am I
doing something wrong?
Regards,
Dennys Fredericci
