> We run our tests in parallel with TestNG and we use {{Thread.setName()}} for easy filtering of log messages from a single test. But since LOG4J2-1334, all the thread names are logged as {{TestNG}}, unless we use {{-DAsyncLogger.ThreadNameStrategy=UNCACHED}}.
> JDK 8u102 removed the {{String}} allocation in {{Thread.getName()}} (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8148842), so I suggest changing the default strategy to {{UNCACHED}}. Users of older JDKs will still be able to use {{-DAsyncLogger.ThreadNameStrategy=CACHED}} for the performance improvement.
