> 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.
