------------------------------------
Assignee: Carter Kozak
> AbstractLogEvent.instant should be protected, not private
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-2351
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2351
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.11.0, 3.0.0
> Reporter: Carter Kozak
> Assignee: Carter Kozak
> Priority: Major
>
> Extending AbstractLogEvent there is currently no way to mutate the instant
> without casting the return value of "getInstant()".
> By making instant protected, classes extending AbstractLogEvent can avoid
> creating a second Instant implementation in addition to the default.
> Alternatively, we can use a static constant immutable instant, and return
> that form getInstant by default. This would break any consumers that cast
> getInstant to a MutableInstant.
