             Summary: (GC) Avoid allocating temporary objects in Filter 
implementations
                 Key: LOG4J2-1595
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1595
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Filters
    Affects Versions: 2.6.2
            Reporter: Remko Popma
            Assignee: Remko Popma
             Fix For: 2.7


Review current Filter implementation classes and change them to be garbage-free 
where feasible. Document on the web site which filters are garbage free and 
which are not.

h4. Current status

* BurstFilter (allocates, non-trivial to change)
* CompositeFilter (adding & removing elements produces garbage for thread 
safety, no allocation in steady state)
* DynamicThresholdFilter (garbage free)
* LevelRangeFilter (can be garbage free after overriding unrolled vararg 
methods)
* MapFilter (creates iterator for each event to loop over the map. Easy to 
change by constructing MapFilter with an ArrayContextData instead of a Map, and 
overriding unrolled vararg methods)
* MarkerFilter  (can be garbage free after overriding unrolled vararg methods)
* RegexFilter (not garbagefree due to JDK regex library)
* ScriptFilter (not garbagefree: creates new Binding object for each event)
* StructuredDataFilter (TBD)
* ThreadContextMapFilter  (creates iterator for each event to loop over the 
map. Easy to change by constructing ThreadContextMapFilter with an 
ArrayContextData instead of a Map, and overriding unrolled vararg methods)
* ThresholdFilter (can be garbage free after overriding unrolled vararg methods)
