--------------------------------------

             Summary: Refresh the Phantom reference of Log File once the 
physical file is deleted by external process
                 Key: LOG4J2-3035
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3035
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Plugins
    Affects Versions: 2.13.3
            Reporter: Nishit k Ghosh
             Fix For: 2.15.0


Let's assume that an external process deletes the physical log file while a 
logger is being used by an application.

In that case the application and the Logger would not know that the physical 
file doesn't exist. In memory the outputstream reference will remain active and 
logger will keep on writing into nowhere. Unless the application or container 
is redeployed / restarted.
