> But once `AsyncAppender` catches the `ThreadDeath`, it is basically dead. Who is gonna restart that thread? In this case `ThreadDeath` is a `Throwable` like any other, after we catch it, it's handled and gone. Calling `Thread.stop()` results in that exception being thrown from another thread. The background thread is still both alive and in a normal state (e.g. `RUNNABLE`) so it can continue to process the queue. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
