> Key: LOG4J2-2972
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2972
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.14.0
> Reporter: Volkan Yazici
> Assignee: Volkan Yazici
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.0.0, 2.14.1
>
>
> The fix we have introduced ~1 month ago to avoid \{{AsyncAppender}} thread
> getting killed, [introduces another
> problem|https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/commit/56436ad2176eac000d2821690e4373f097b76670#commitcomment-44892412].
> In a nutshell, when the thread gets killed via \{{Thread#stop()}} it throws
> a \{{ThreadDeath}} exception which we unintentionally swallow, whereas the
> thread needs to be re-spawned again.
> This story aims to replace the custom \{{Thread}} usage with a
> single-threaded \{{Executor}}, which takes care of re-spawning.
