[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFCORE-249) Wrap the default logging handlers in an AsyncHandler

Wrap the default logging handlers in an AsyncHandler ---------------------------------------------------- Key: WFCORE-249 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-249 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Logging Reporter: Kyle Lape Assignee: James Perkins This change could potentially enhance performance under heavier logging loads, but the the disadvantages probably need to be considered first. * Under light logging load, is performance improved much? * How about under medium load? * Under heavy load, the async queue may overflow, causing either one of two sceanrios: ** {{OverflowAction.DISCARD}}: The loss of messages. Probably not the right choice for default. ** {{OverflowAction.BLOCK}}: Threads block until queue clears. Could be argued that async is not much better than plain synchronous logging in this scenario. * If the aync thread crashes, are messages lost? If so, is this much worse than synchronous logging, and how often can an async thread crash?
